Jenks does not have breed-specific legislation. Oklahoma state law prohibits breed-specific regulations, requiring dangerous dog laws to be breed-neutral per 4 O.S. §46. Dogs are evaluated individually based on behavior. Owners of dogs declared dangerous must comply with enclosure, muzzle, and leash requirements regardless of breed.
Oklahoma does not preempt breed-specific legislation. Cities CAN and DO enact breed bans and restrictions. Several Oklahoma cities have banned or restricted pit bulls (American Pit Bull Terrier, American Staffordshire Terrier, Staffordshire Bull Terrier) and other breeds. This makes Oklahoma notable among states for allowing breed bans. 4 O.S. §44 et seq. also provides for behavior-based dangerous dog designations. Check Jenks ordinance carefully for any breed-specific provisions.
Breed ban violations: impoundment, fines $100 to $500, possible euthanasia order. Dangerous dog violations: escalating penalties.
