Bring Man’s Best Friend to the Heart of the Ozarks
Going on vacation shouldn’t mean leaving behind the furry members of your family. Pulaski County welcomes you and your pets to stay at one of our pet-friendly locations so you can explore the beautiful Ozarks and rich history together.
Book Your Pet-Friendly Stay
With several pet-friendly options, the majority of area hotels can meet many of your needs, including budget, breakfast, pools, and exercise facilities. Looking for a cozy cottage on the river, close to scenic walking and hiking trails? The outfitters of Pulaski County would love to host you and your pets while providing great floating and fishing opportunities on the Big Piney and Gasconade rivers.
Gone Walking
Each town offers a variety of fun and historic sites with excellent photo opportunities, turning the chore of pet walking into a memorable experience. Stroll along Historic Route 66 in Saint Robert and Waynesville, enjoy a vast collection of murals, and follow the Frisco Railroad through Crocker, Dixon, and Richland!
Visit the George M. Reed Roadside Park in Saint Robert, and enjoy a picnic with family — furry or otherwise. Stop at the Saint Robert Dog Park and let your dog off the leash for a while. Other places of interest include the City of Saint Robert Welcome Sign, the Military Rock Display along Saint Robert Boulevard, and Uranus, Missouri.
Waynesville offers amazing sights and photo opportunities! Enjoy beautiful Roubidoux Park and grab a bite to eat at the Roubidoux StrEATery before heading down to the river. See Downtown Waynesville and learn its history with our Historic Downtown Waynesville Walking Tour. Snap a picture of the Old Stagecoach Stop or grab a selfie with the giant Route 66 Sign in front of the 1903 Courthouse Museum.
The Frisco Railroad Caboose and Crocker Railroad Depot Museum are two more excellent photo ops before heading to your next stop. Richland’s Shady Dell Park is a great place to take a break and let your pet play for a while. It’s also a great place to begin searching for the various murals around the area, starting with the Shady Dell Park Mural! Continue the mural hunt in Dixon and see the story of the Frisco Railroad as you explore.
