Are pit bulls legal in tn?

Answer 1

It depends on your city and county laws. Check with your local authorities (animal control, city, and/or county police departments). It is not illegal in all areas of TN, but shelters have been recently flooded with Pit Bulls and suspected Pit Bull mixes,. Some are county wide laws, some are city, so you have to check your locals. I myself have a Pit Bull mix, but before I adopted it from the shelter, I did contact all authorities. I recommend everyone does, just in case legal petitions are looking likely in your area of passing.
