As downtown St. Pete grows and evolves, so should the policies shaping our condo communities, especially when it comes to pets. Yet some buildings continue to enforce outdated, blanket dog breed bans that unfairly punish responsible owners and well-behaved dogs based solely on how they look. While many buildings welcome pets with open arms, others enforce strict and sometimes outdated breed restrictions often without a clear rationale. For people who consider their pets part of the family, discovering these restrictions too late can be devastating.
