New Jersey prohibits breed-specific bans. State law bars municipalities from regulating dogs solely by breed, so no pit-bull or other breed ban applies in Camden County. Dangerous-dog rules apply based on behavior, not breed.
New Jersey's Vicious and Potentially Dangerous Dog Act (N.J.S.A. 4:19-17 et seq.) governs dangerous dogs by individual behavior, and N.J.S.A. 4:19-37 expressly prohibits any regulation that is specific to breed. A municipal court may declare a dog vicious if it killed or seriously injured a person, or potentially dangerous if it caused bodily injury in an unprovoked attack or severely injured a domestic animal. No Camden County town may lawfully ban a breed. Owners of dogs declared potentially dangerous face special caging, muzzling, and liability-insurance requirements set by the court.
A dog declared vicious may be euthanized; potentially-dangerous designations impose special registration, muzzling, and insurance obligations enforced by municipal court.
