Dog Areas in Freeport, IN
Freeport was platted in 1836. In 1837, a post office was established in the town to handle the mail that passed through the shipping port. The town actually takes its name from that port, which helped ship things across the country and was the main source of employment in the area outside of family farming. The post office was discontinued in 1902, but the area remains to this day as an unincorporated part of Hanover Township. There are a cluster of residences in the midst of rolling farmland. Big Blue River borders the area to the east, providing a swath of nature left to grow wild and naturally in the midst of the pasteurized farmland.
Freeport is small, and doesn’t have any veterinary clinics of its own. That said, the surrounding county has more than enough medical care to keep animals in top shape. The nearby towns of Shelbyville and New Palestine both have veterinarians no more than a twenty minute drive away. If you have a city dog who’s never had the chance to enjoy the outdoors, Freeport is a great place to relax--and country dogs love it too.

#5 Greenfield City Center
0Just ten miles from Freeport, enjoy a walk on the wooded trail in Brandywine Park along Brandywine Creek with your leashed pup. Brandywine Park offers a one of a kind park and experience for Hancock County. The hill inside the park is a pawsome place for winter ‘pup-sledding’ after a snow. If Fido enjoys the cold weather and an active sledding adventure, then this is your place for a winter adventure. Come early before everyone arrives for a quick whoosh down the hill! The park is a great place for a walk, even without the snow.
