LOXAHATCHEE GROVES, Fla. (WSVN) — A new Florida law prohibiting bans on certain dog breeds comes as big news for the founder of a South Florida animal shelter.At the center of the new law are pit bulls, animals that those who run rescue facilities in the Sunshine State argue are often misunderstood.Their size and stature, coupled with a checkered breed history as fighting dogs, mean no other kind of canine finds itself at these shelters more than pit bulls.It’s something that Big Dog Ranch Rescue founder Lauree Simmons sees every day in Loxahatchee Groves.“Owner surrenders are up 60%. Forty percent of that is due to breed discrimination, where people are downsizing, renting somewhere smaller or moving into a different community,” she said.But times may be changing.Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis signed a bill outlawing a ban on pit bulls in Miami-Dade County. It also walks back housing restrictions based on breed or weight.“This was an unnecessary ban that co...
