Fort Gaines

Audubon Bird Sanctuary allows leashed dogs on the trails. The dog-friendly Sanctuary spans 137 acres and features three miles of trails through maritime forest, marshes, and dunes, as well as a lake, swamp, and beach. It is situated on the eastern end of Dauphin Island, a 14-mile-long barrier island off the coast of Alabama.

Pets are welcome at Indian Shell Mound Park. Your history-loving hound can explore this prehistoric monument created by early native Americans. Leashed pets are allowed as long as they are cleaned up after themselves to keep the area tidy.

On the public beach, dogs on a leash are welcome all year. The greatest area on Dauphin Island set aside for dogs and their owners to run and play on the sand and in the surf is the public beach near the Red School House and the old fishing pier. There are at least a few miles of beach there, and now that Sand Island has been joined to Dauphin Island, there are another three miles of unspoiled sand on that barrier island protruding out into the Gulf. Dogs are welcome at Dauphin Island's main public beach and the Dauphin Island Campground, but not at the West Extremity Beach Park on the island's far western end.

Dogs are welcome on the bayside beach at Fort Morgan Historic Site. Owners must keep their dogs on a leash at all times and tidy up after them. Only the Mobile bayside beach, which stretches from the old Fort Morgan Pier to the Old Fisherman's Wharf, accepts dogs. Dogs are not permitted past the Old Fisherman's Wharf since it is a Federal Wildlife Area. The beach is located just before the Dauphin Island boat and before the fort's entrance.

Leashed dogs are welcome to view Fort Morgan State Historic Site in Gulf Shores, Alabama. Access to the dog beach is included in the admission price (bayside only). On the property, there are dirt hiking routes that Petzooie can enjoy with you.

Love's Travel Stop is a dog-friendly gas station and rest stop in Irvington, Alabama. Love's Travel Stops are located all throughout the United States and provide facilities for traveling dogs. A completely fenced dog park with a convenient waste station is available at this site.
