What's Happening?
Residents of the Rochester area are being encouraged to share their favorite dog-friendly locations. This initiative aims to compile a list of popular spots where dogs and their owners can enjoy various activities together. The suggestions will be featured in a future column that highlights these dog-friendly places. The call for submissions was inspired by Jalynn Webb at the 2025 Square Fair in Rochester's 19th Ward. The column will explore various locations, including parks, beaches, restaurants, and dog parks, where pets can have fun and engage in activities with their owners.
