Can my friend be forced to give her pet away by the landlord if he no longer wants pets around?

Answer:
The lease agreement should contain language regarding the tenant's obligation to maintain the property and any restrictions such as pet policies.
Generally, a landlord may adopt rules and regulation concerning the tenant's use and occupancy of the premises in order to promote safety and welfare, preserve property, and fairly distribte services and facilities. If the rules are reasonable and specific, they will be enforceable if the tenant has notice of the rules, either at the time the tenant enters into the lease agreement, or at the time the rule is adopted. If adopted after the tenant has entered the agreement, the tenant must generally consent to it in writing if the rule substantially modifies the lease agreement.
