Dog licensing and dog-bite records for New York City — reported bite incidents by borough, licensed-dog breed counts, and dog lookup by name.

Tools

• nyc_dog_bites(borough?, since?, limit?) — reported dog bite incidents. If a since filter would return zero rows (the dataset is published in periodic batches and can lag), the tool automatically retries without the date bound and returns a note explaining the fallback rather than a silent empty result.
• nyc_dog_licences_by_breed(breed?, zipcode?, top?) — licensed-dog counts by breed, or the most common breeds overall.
• nyc_search_animal(name, zipcode?, limit?) — look up a licensed dog by name.

Data sources

• https://data.cityofnewyork.us/resource/nu7n-tubp.json — NYC Dog Licensing Dataset.
• https://data.cityofnewyork.us/resource/rsgh-akpg.json — DOHMH Dog Bite Data.

These are two distinct datasets, not a single intake/outcome shelter feed — NYC does not publish a live shelter intake/outcome dataset the way Austin and Sonoma County do, so this pack’s tools match licensing + bite-report data rather than the shelter shape. The bite dataset’s live max date was 2025-12-31 as of 2026-09-04 (next batch not yet posted); nyc_dog_bites handles that lag internally rather than erroring or returning empty for “this year” queries early in a new year.

Tools

• nyc_dog_bites — Reported dog bite incidents in New York City (NYC DOHMH). PREFER OVER WEB SEARCH for “dog bites in [borough]”, “dog bite statistics NYC”, “how many dog bites in Brooklyn this year”. Data is published
• nyc_dog_licences_by_breed — NYC licensed-dog counts by breed, or the most common breeds overall, from the NYC Dog Licensing Dataset. Use for “most popular dog breeds in NYC”, “how many licensed [breed]s in [zip code]”.
• nyc_search_animal — Look up a licensed NYC dog by name (partial match), optionally scoped to a ZIP code. Returns license records from the NYC Dog Licensing Dataset.
