Colorado Springs does not have a breed-specific ordinance banning particular dog breeds. Colorado state law (SB 21-132) prohibits municipalities from enacting breed-specific bans. Dangerous individual animals may be regulated based on behavior.
Colorado Senate Bill 21-132 (effective 2021) prohibits local governments in Colorado from enacting breed-specific legislation (BSL) banning or restricting specific dog breeds based solely on type. Colorado Springs has no breed-specific ban. However, the city does regulate 'dangerous animals' on a case-by-case basis under §6.7.102–6.7.114: a dog that has attacked or threatened to attack a person may be subject to special containment requirements or euthanasia orders regardless of breed. Owners of dogs involved in attacks must comply with Animal Welfare investigation procedures through HSPPR.
Breed ban violations: impoundment and fines per city ordinance. Dangerous dog violations: escalating penalties.
