Breed-Specific Legislation Map

Geographically view the current status of BSL across the United States

  • Breed-specific legislation is on the decline with more areas repealing or rejecting it. 
  • 22 states (shown in teal) have laws preventing towns from implementing BSL. 
  • Animal ordinances are trending toward science-based, breed-neutral laws. You can see examples of those in our Advocacy Library.
  • Breed-specific legislation has its roots in racism and is a violation of constitutional rights.
  • With our legal action fund, we’re working to end BSL by helping dog owners take their local governments to court.
 
  • This map is updated within 30 days of any rejections, repeals, or enaction’s . If you see any needed additions please email info@ncrcouncil.com
