\"Red<\/span>Does the tiny house revolution hold a certain appeal, but you\u2019re not sure if your pet could handle it? Do you want to adopt a pet, but you currently live in a fourth-floor walkup that\u2019s less than 500 square feet? <\/span><\/p>\n

Unless you\u2019re the proud owner of a working breed, you\u2019re in luck! Most pets can handle less square footage, but special considerations are necessary for a pet living in a small space.

However, many cities boast pet-friendly amenities that are wonderful for pets and owners alike.
