Only in Oregon

Oregon State Park has 21 campgrounds with yurts and cabins that are dog-friendly. Many of the campgrounds are along the beautiful, scenic coast.

Here is the list to make your reservations.



In addition, Cannon Beach is a very dog-friendly town. Surfsand Resort, the Ocean Lodge, and the Inn at Cannon Beach celebrate your pet's arrival with a welcome basket. Warm pet washes with towels are available throughout the properties for those sandy dogs.

Yes, I believe you can say that Oregon has gone to the dogs!

Skateboarding, Animals, and Art

What do these three things have in common?

Entrepreneur, David Hendrickson created an eco-friendly skateboard and apparel company, in 2011, shortly after adopting a Chihuahua from the animal shelter where he volunteered. David and William are inseparable.

Combining his love of art and skateboarding with his passion for animals, David started Hendrick Boards and created collections of skateboards and apparel to give back to animal shelters and pet adoption programs – helping animals, like William, find loving homes.

Every purchase gives back to animal shelters and rescues throughout the nation – from 20% to 40% of the purchase price.

Together we can make a difference for shelter animals everywhere.

Garden Hose Warning

Do you or your dog drink from the garden hose?

A recent study by HealthyStuff.org in Ann Arbor, Michigan, found that many garden products, including most hoses made from PVC, contained phthalates which is a chemical used to soften plastics. This chemical has been linked to birth defects and breast cancer among other things. In addition, high amounts of lead were also found in hoses' brass fittings.

Jeff Gearhart, lead researcher on this study, recommends that consumers buy lead-free garden hoses, which are often white with a blue stripe and found at marine and RV stores, or rubber hoses. He also suggests flushing PVC hoses before using them to water plants, and storing them in the shade to prevent the sun from heating them which releases PVC chemicals into the water.

The main message is clear: do not drink from garden hoses yourself or use them to fill your dog's waterbowls.
