Visalia does not ban any specific dog breeds. California Food and Agricultural Code Section 31683 prohibits breed-specific dog legislation by local governments. Instead, Visalia enforces dangerous and vicious dog laws based on individual animal behavior. Dogs that bite, attack, or act aggressively may be classified as dangerous or potentially dangerous, requiring additional restraint, secure enclosures, and liability insurance. Repeat incidents may result in the animal being ordered destroyed.
Dangerous dog violations carry significant fines. Failure to comply with dangerous dog requirements may result in criminal charges.
