Cheyenne does not impose a blanket pit bull ban but uses dangerous-dog procedures under Title 4 with mandatory secure confinement, liability insurance, and registration once a dog is declared dangerous.
Cheyenne City Code Title 4 follows a behavior-based dangerous-dog framework rather than breed-specific legislation. Any dog that attacks a person or animal without provocation may be declared dangerous after an Animal Control investigation and hearing. Owners of declared dangerous dogs must keep the animal in a secure enclosure, muzzle and short-leash it in public, post warning signage, register with the city, and carry liability insurance. Violations can lead to seizure and humane destruction. Wyoming statute does not preempt local dangerous-dog ordinances, so Cheyenne enforces these rules independently of any county or state list.
Failure to confine, muzzle, insure, or register a declared dangerous dog can lead to fines exceeding several hundred dollars per incident, misdemeanor charges, civil liability, and possible court-ordered euthanasia.
