We moved to Iowa in November 2015 with our family of 4 children and 2 dogs. We found out that our 9 year old dog, who is a Staffordshire Bull Terrier, is banned from Sioux City. We currently have less than a month to rehome him with family back in NY. We know many people who have pets that fall in the "pitbull ban category" who illegally have their pets in many of the communities in Iowa. The breed specifc bans need to be changed to viscious dog bans. It is clear that this legislation needs to come from the state level as the municipalities tend to be unwilling to hear the cause.
