Glendale does not enforce breed-specific legislation. California state law (Food & Agricultural Code 31683) preempts breed-specific bans. Dogs are regulated based on individual behavior, with dangerous or vicious dogs subject to additional requirements.
California law prohibits breed-specific legislation at the local level. Glendale regulates dogs based on behavior, not breed. Dogs declared potentially dangerous or vicious after bite incidents must be registered, confined in a secure enclosure, and may need to be muzzled in public. Owners of vicious dogs must carry liability insurance and meet strict containment requirements.
Owners of dangerous or vicious dogs who violate containment or muzzling requirements face misdemeanor charges, fines, and potential destruction of the animal.
