Rent.com has a list out of the 10 most pet-friendly cities.
Would you care to take a guess as to what they are? Oh, heck, let me just spare you the suspense.
1. New York
2. Chicago
3. Boston
4. Houston
5. San Francisco
6. Austin
7. Washington, D.C.
8. Portland
9. Charleston, South Carolina
10. Ann Arbor
Okay, okay, Houston and Ann Arbor are a little surprising. I guess Houston has a variety of pet-friendly hotels and restaurants, and Ann Arbor “invites pets for outdoor fun from dog-friendly canoeing, farms and gardens.” (Hmm, pets and outdoor fun … wacky.)
So what else makes a city pet-friendly? Boston allows cats and dogs on leashes to accompany passengers on the subway, and Chicago has canine cruises across from Navy Pier.
