Check out this newspaper article on the newly formed group Ashland Loves Dogs:
A tourist traveling with a pet who does a Google search with the terms “dog friendly” and “Ashland” will pull up a dire warning.
The top search result lists the Dogfriendly.com website, which says, “WARNING: Ashland Oregon is one of the least dog-friendly towns on the West Coast.” The site says that an owner whose dog sets foot inside an Ashland park can be hit with a hefty fine. It says most parks are off-limits, and the one off-leash dog park is on the outskirts of town.
“Best to just keep on driving on I-5,” Dogfriendly.com concludes.
Members of the recently formed group Ashland Loves Dogs want to counter that message by pointing out Ashland’s dog-friendly features, while also working to allow canine access to more places around town.
