The thought of cool New England getaway with your dogs sounds very, very tempting right now (as we prepare for yet another 100+ degree day in Texas). We just received news about a number of great pet-friendly packages in New England from the New England Inns & Resorts Association (NEIRA). They’ve recently compiled a list of member properties that welcome pets.
Here’s a look at a few of the many packages available:
