Augusta does not impose breed-specific bans. Georgia's Responsible Dog Ownership Law uses behavior-based dangerous dog classifications applying to any breed.
Augusta does not have breed-specific legislation. Georgia's Responsible Dog Ownership Law (OCGA 4-8-20 et seq.) classifies dogs as potentially dangerous or dangerous based on behavior rather than breed. Dogs that have bitten or shown aggression may be declared dangerous. Owners of dangerous dogs must comply with enhanced containment, liability insurance, and registration requirements.
Owners of dangerous dogs who fail to comply face fines, impoundment, and potential criminal charges for serious incidents.
