No breed-specific bans in San Leandro. California Food and Agricultural Code 31683 preempts all local breed-specific legislation statewide.
California Food and Agricultural Code 31683 prohibits cities and counties from enacting breed-specific legislation banning or restricting dogs by breed (such as pit bulls or Rottweilers). San Leandro enforces behavior-based dangerous dog rules: any dog that attacks, bites, or menaces without provocation can be declared a potentially dangerous or vicious animal regardless of breed. Health and Safety Code 122331 allows breed-specific mandatory spay/neuter, which San Leandro has not adopted.
