Leesburg launches dog-friendly campaign

With Leesburg’s growing reputation as a dog-friendly destination, a new campaign, “Leesburg Loves Dogs,” is being launched to encourage locals and visitors to bring their furry companions to explore the town’s many attractions and businesses.

The campaign includes a variety of features designed to make it easy for dog owners to plan their visit and enjoy their time in Leesburg with their four-legged friends. Features include:

Dog-friendly Business Directory: The campaign includes a comprehensive directory of businesses in Leesburg that welcome dogs. The directory labels whether dogs are allowed inside or outside and whether there are water bowls, treats, food, and dog products available for purchase. This feature ensures that visitors can easily find businesses that cater to their needs and preferences.

Branded Sticker: To make it easy for visitors to identify dog-friendly businesses, the campaign offers a branded sticker that participating businesses can place in their windows. The sticker lets visitors know that their dogs are welcome and encourages them to explore the business with their furry companions.

Sample Itineraries: The campaign offers several pre-planned itineraries that cater to different interests, such as outdoor activities, food and drink, and shopping. Each itinerary includes dog-friendly options, so visitors can explore the town with their dogs without worrying about whether they are welcome.

“Leesburg is a town that welcomes everyone, including our furry friends,” said Leesburg’s Tourism Specialist Allison Wood who’s excited about the new campaign and the town’s growing reputation as a dog-friendly destination.

“We hope this campaign encourages more people to visit Leesburg with their dogs and enjoy all that our town has to offer.” The “Leesburg Loves Dogs” campaign is now live and available for visitors and locals to use.
