My take on it is that a committed dog owner will plan ahead and keep looking until they find another rental that allows their breed of choice. However, not all pet owners are committed. It's not a law that you have to own to adopt in any city, so friend could go to another shelter if he is determined. But I would have a talk with him about the "what if's" to make sure he understands that for the next 10-15 years he will have to either make sure he can get a rental that allows his dog or buy a house in an area without BSL.

Ohio repealing statewide BSL can't happen fast enough. From the rumors I have heard, sometime between now and the end of the year if they are going to do it.
