Denver has killed thousands of innocent family pets! The BSL killed innocent pets that were part of the family. Labrador, Boxer, American bulldog mixes also look like pit bulls. To me Denver isn't the least pet friendly. It should not be on this list. Killing innocent dogs for their appearance is RACISM!

I didn't really do a study on Dog Parks but Gilbert AZ has Cosmo Dog Park. It has several different areas, one having a lake so the dogs can go swimming and play fetch in the water. To me that makes Gilbert pretty dog friendly. A great off leash place to play.

I see why New Jersey was not listed as pet-friendly. I had my "Morky" (at the time she was 3lbs and 4" long), when I needed to pick up a few mailing stamps from the Post Office in the Lawrenceville branch. I was in line for 10 minutes when the Manager began yelling at me to remove that "thing" and put "it" in the car. The customers were all bewildered and just shook their heads. She was not on the floor, but was in my armpit. He yelled so loud, he frightened her and she began to tremble. Needless to say, I reported his rudeness. The Post Master just stated he was in his rights because there are people who are allergic. I stated, then they need to hole up in their home and never come out, because the world is full of animals, some not so nice or as furry!

This is a great list but they're missing a very important factor - how many of these cities offer an abundance of pet-friendly housing? If you're a renter it can be impossible to have a pet.

SAN FRANCISCO, CA IS THE BEST FOR DOGS!
