"Dogs Welcome"
A man wrote a letter to a small hotel in a Midwest town he planned to visit on his vacation.
He wrote: I would very much like to bring my dog with me.
He is well-groomed.
And very well behaved.
Would you be willing to permit me to keep him in my room with me at night?
"An immediate reply came from the hotel owner, who wrote:
SIR: "I've been operating this hotel for many years.
In all that time, I've never had a dog steal towels, bedclothes, silverware or pictures off the walls.
I've never had to evict a dog in the middle of the night for being drunk and disorderly.
And I've never had a dog run out on a hotel bill.
Yes, indeed, your dog is welcome at my hotel.
And, if your dog will vouch for you, you're welcome to stay here, too.

"Each year, thousands of beloved companions succumb to heatstroke and suffocation when left in parked cars. It happens most often when people make quick stops—the dry cleaners, the bank or the local deli. Folks, we need to be clear on this: It takes only minutes for your pet to face death—and it doesn’t have to be that hot out. On a 78-degree day, the temperature inside a parked car can reach 160 degrees. Even with the windows cracked."

Hiking Restrictions for Dogs:
State parks permit dogs but they must be leashed.
Nature preserves, like Conkle's Hollow and Rock Bridge, do not permit dogs.
Enjoy the Dog Park at Lake Alma!
This dog park has access to the lake so your dog can frolic and swim to his/her heart's content! This is a state lake; please visit their website for more information. During the summer, note you should check the advisories on their web page for water conditions (click below).
Our Guide
Pets:We accept cats, and dogs who are well behaved, quiet, housebroken, and non-aggressive. For other types of pets give us a call and we will talk to you about your needs.
Limit: There is a limit of 3 pets. No weight limit or breed exclusion for dogs.
Price: We will charge a one-time fee of $30 for the first pet, and pets 2 & 3 stay for free!
No Fleas, Please: As a courtesy to all future guests, pets must be flea-free.
Dirty Dogs: We hope your pets have fun here, but please do not bring dirty dogs into the cabin. Plan to bring towels to wipe off wet or dirty fur. Dogs are absolutely NOT permitted in the jetted tub. Hair will clog our septic system. Bathing should take place outside; you can use the water spigot on the side of the cabin or take warm water outside in our bucket.
Furniture: If you know your dog or cat will be on the sofas or beds, bring clean sheets or blankets to completely cover the furniture (two sofas, two beds).
Crates: If you leave your dog or cat unattended at the cabin, it must be confined in a crate. A pet left alone in strange surroundings is very likely to express it's frustration by chewing, scratching or marking it's surroundings which, in this case, would be the cabin.
Leashes & tags: Dogs must be kept on a leash when outside the cabin. They may encounter other dogs, see a deer or other wild creature, or find other interesting diversions which would encourage them to run. Dog visitors in the Hocking Hills are, unfortunately, routinely lost in the miles of woods because the owners did not keep them leashed. (ID tags are highly recommended in case they do get loose). We do not permit harassment of local wildlife or domestic animals.
Barking: While we expect to hear dogs bark, persistent barking should be attended to.
Messes: Please clean up after your dog around the cabin property. We have provided a pooper-scooper and garbage can, and doggie poop bags. Any deposits left in the wooded area are OK.
Damage: Any damage to the cabin property which is caused by your pet, will be charged to you in accordance with our Rental Agreement.
