Dog Friendly Savannah -

Finding dog friendly activities can be very difficult. In fact a lot of people will tell you that having a human puppy is a heck of a lot more convenient. For now, I will ignore their thinly veiled hints and continue with my furbaby adventures!

Dog Friendly Savannah

Back home in Ireland, not counting walking areas, there are virtually no dog friendly activities to partake in. When my husband expressed an interest in getting a puppy I was instantly reluctant. Being in the military means training missions, deployments and moving all at the drop of a hat. With his family out of state and mine on another continent it worried me that I would have no support if we both had to go somewhere without him.

After much deliberation we got our puppy (more on him later) and quickly discovered that we lived in a city voted one of the the most dog friendly in the United States. Lucky us him!

Below are just some of our favorite things to do with our puppy and some still on our list!
