Wilmington does not impose breed-specific bans. North Carolina law does not prohibit specific breeds. Dangerous dog designations are behavior-based.
Wilmington does not ban any specific dog breeds. North Carolina's dangerous dog statute (NCGS 67-4.1 through 67-4.5) addresses individual dogs based on behavior rather than breed. Dogs that have attacked or killed may be declared potentially dangerous or dangerous regardless of breed. Owners of dangerous dogs must comply with strict enclosure, signage, and insurance requirements.
Owners of declared dangerous dogs face strict requirements. Non-compliance results in fines and potential seizure.
