Dangerous Dogs Website

In response to a request by the Board of Supervisors of Fairfax County and as a service to the public, the Animal Services Division has posted the list of dangerous dogs in Fairfax County to the county website. It can be found at http://www.fairfaxcounty.gov/ps/ac/dangerous-dogs-2005.pdf.

A dangerous dog is defined, in part, “as any canine or canine crossbreed that has bitten, attacked, or inflicted injury on a person or companion animal, or killed a companion animal.” Only a judicial determination can label a dog as a “dangerous dog.” The county code which outlines the procedures and responsibilities regarding dangerous dogs is Section 41.1-2-7. Controlling dangerous and vicious dogs.
