Broken Arrow does not have breed-specific legislation. Oklahoma state law prohibits breed-specific regulations, requiring that dangerous dog laws be breed-neutral. Dogs are evaluated individually based on behavior under 4 O.S. §44+ (dangerous dog provisions). Owners of dogs declared dangerous must comply with enclosure, muzzle, and leash requirements regardless of breed.
Broken Arrow maintains breed-specific legislation targeting pit bull terriers (American Pit Bull Terrier, American Staffordshire Terrier, Staffordshire Bull Terrier) and wolf hybrids. Owners of restricted breeds must carry minimum $100,000 liability insurance, maintain secure enclosures with specific height and material requirements, and muzzle dogs when in public. Dogs must be spayed or neutered. Annual registration with animal control required. Oklahoma state law permits cities to enact breed-specific legislation, unlike many other states that preempt such bans. Violations result in impoundment and potential euthanasia for repeat offenses.
Unregistered restricted breed: $200 to $500 and impoundment. Loose restricted breed: $500 and mandatory court hearing. Repeat: dog may be seized permanently.
