DOGSBITEORG INCORPORATED

Each year our nonprofit maintains a database and issues an estimation on the number of jurisdictions in the United States with breed-specific laws, designed to prevent serious and fatal dog bite injuries. Our annual estimation includes cities and counties, as well as the number of military branches and breed-specific policies on United States Indian reservations. This report, "Estimated U.S. Cities, Counties, States and Military Facilities with Breed-Specific Pit Bull Laws," is publicly posted to our Scribd page for any person or organization to download. The report is also reflected in our State-by-State web pages on our website, DogsBite.org. The report was originally compiled in October 2011.

Since 2009, our nonprofit has collected dog bite statistical data from Animal control and health departments from jurisdictions in 32 states. These statistics range from bite data only, to jurisdictions that also track injury severity and the spay/neuter status of the top biting breeds. The data is obtained through public information requests by our nonprofit and investigative media reports. The data is summarized into two reports: Pit Bulls Lead Biting Incidents Across U.S. Cities and Counties (2013 to Present) and Archived: Pit Bulls Lead 'Bite' Counts Across U.S. Cities and Counties (2005 to 2012). Of the many jurisdictions we have sampled, from New York City to cities and counties located in the Southeast, South, Southwest, Midwest, West Coast and Northwest, all show data that a single dog breed is biting the most, pit bulls, except for two jurisdictions with longstanding breed-specific laws, Denver, Colorado and San Francisco, California.
