Hoboken Chosen as #1 Dog Friendly City
Categories: Hoboken Condos
BellaDog magazine rated Hoboken the most dog friendly city, beating out places like Lake Tahoe, Portland, Boston and even New York City. The criteria for selection, according to the magazine were:
- Walkability – If your city is walkable, you are more likely to take your dog with you on errands, to restaurants, shopping, and exercising. We ranked each city’s WalkScore™index.
- Dog Parks – A city that cares will fund off-leash dog areas and parks. This was calculated on a per capita basis using City Government websites.
- Dog Businesses – We tallied Google results for nearby dog businesses on a per capita basis as well.
- Legislature – We researched state, county, and local laws against puppy mills, dog fighting, and chaining/tethering with the Humane Society and Unchain Your Dog.
