Wow. We… we actually did it. 💜
We can’t even believe this. This is EVERYTHING.
After 27 long years, Prince George’s County has officially lifted the breed ban. The County Council passed CB-097, a historic and comprehensive overhaul of the animal control code - championed by Chair Edward Burroughs III and shaped by years of collaboration between residents, advocates, and community leaders.
As the Prince George’s Pet Unity Project, we are deeply proud to have led this effort. For years, we’ve listened to residents, uplifted community stories, partnered with volunteers and local leaders, and pushed for fair, effective, evidence-based laws that keep families together and make our neighborhoods safer.
CB-097 strengthens leash laws, increases accountability for dangerous dogs, updates outdated definitions, improves public safety, and launches a pilot foster/adoption program for the dogs who were once banned. It is a modern, compassionate, community-centered path forward.
To Chair Burroughs and the County Council members who believed in safe, fair, effective policy - thank you.
To our volunteers, supporters, and every resident who showed up, spoke up, or stood with us - this victory is ours.
Today, Prince George’s County made history.
Now, we celebrate. Tomorrow… back to work. (Okay, maybe a few days of celebration)
And together, we’ll keep building a safer, fairer, more unified community for people and their pets
LET’S GOOOOOO!!! 🎉🐾
