Andre (Dre) and Gagutsa (Gootz) look like they are ready to rumble! If you plan to be touring the scenic sites all day, a good idea is to pre-plan a day at the doggy day care for your pups so they can burn off some of their energy too. Choose901 offers a list of doggy day cares in Memphis. Call ahead of your visit so you can coordinate all the details.

Shelby Farms Park is a popular place for pups! Dogs must be on-leash, leash in hand at all times in the Park and on the Greenline, including unpaved forest trails. Local leash laws apply. However, The Outback features more than 100 acres that are designated for off-leash fun for you and your pup!
