Dunwoody has no breed-specific legislation (BSL). Georgia's Responsible Dog Ownership Law (GA Code §4-8-20+) creates a behavioral-based dangerous dog registry administered by DeKalb County. Individual dogs may be declared dangerous based on behavior, not breed.
Neither Dunwoody nor DeKalb County bans specific dog breeds. Georgia's Responsible Dog Ownership Law (GA Code §4-8-20+) establishes a process for declaring dogs 'dangerous' or 'vicious' based on individual behavior. Owners of declared dangerous dogs must register with the county, maintain the dog in a secure enclosure, and leash and muzzle the dog off property. Homeowner insurance breed restrictions are separate from municipal law.
Breed restriction violation: $200 to $1,000. Animal impoundment possible. Mandatory conditions for return.
