Santa Rosa does not enforce breed-specific dog bans. However, dogs declared dangerous or vicious under California state law are subject to strict requirements regardless of breed.
Santa Rosa does not ban specific dog breeds. California state law (Food & Agricultural Code §31601-31683) governs dangerous and vicious dog designations based on behavior, not breed. Dogs that have bitten a person or behaved in a manner that requires defense may be declared potentially dangerous. Vicious dog owners must carry liability insurance, keep the dog securely confined, and comply with strict containment requirements.
Owners of declared dangerous or vicious dogs who fail to comply with requirements face fines, potential seizure of the animal, and criminal charges.
