Pets

Pet-Friendly Community

It could be our mascot, the open-minded atmosphere or maybe it's just the great weather. Whatever the reason, Athens is a dog town. Students and residents bring their well-behaved pets to local restaurants and enjoy the area's dog parks, both on- (UGA Intramural Fields) and off-campus (Memorial Park). The city also has plenty of groomers, pet supply stores and canine bakeries.
