STORIES ADOPT A DOG

Cool sea breezes and tail-waggin’ comforts

By: DogTrekker Staff
A vibrant dog park bathed in sunlight features abundant greenery with mature trees, offering ample shade for leisurely outdoor activities. In the distance is a well-equipped playground that presents an additional activity area. An inviting picnic table spreads out nearby, ideal for enjoying meals al fresco or taking relaxing breaks from play. A neatly-placed trash bin aids in maintaining the park's cleanliness for everyone's enjoyment. Dominating the scene is a generously wide dirt path gracefully curving through the expanse of grass, promising exploratory walks and lively fetch games.

When the summer heat sizzles across much of California, Pacific breezes keep temperatures mild along the Mendocino coast. The Little River Inn opened here in 1939. Since then, the pup-passionate property has welcomed families with generous service and easy access to the sea.

Furry companions receive special treats at check-in, plus water and food bowls, furniture cover sheets, pet towels and waste bags for use during a stay. The property also has on-leash areas to roam, complete with waste bag dispensers and bins.
