I've always been an animal lover and cared for them all my life. I'm currently a fur mom to two rescues: a calico, Sophie, and Treeing Tennessee Brindle, Gaia. Both of my pets really enjoy the outdoors so you'll see us often in my backyard or local dog park. I'm always excited to meet new pets and treat them with love as if they were my own!

Hey my name is Carmine! I’m currently looking for a full time engineering job and I figured it would be great to do Wag in the meantime . My dog Millie is almost 8 years old and she’s the sweetest thing ever. She’s some a Jack Russel/Italian Greyhound Mix and while she’s one of the greatest things I’ve got going right now she doesn’t love to walk all that much. So I’d like to brighten up my days by meeting some new dogs and getting some light exercise.

Hi, I’m Vanessa! I’m a senior at the University of Michigan. I grew up in Newport Beach with a Lhasa Apso that I walked everyday to the neighborhood dog park.

I have two dogs--a Maltese/Poodle and a Chihuahua/Terrier and I love them like they're my own children! I am responsible, active, and love dogs wholeheartedly!

Hi there! My name is Jenna! I'm originally from Michigan and I LOVE DOGS, hence why I'm on here. I grew up with dogs (Chocolate Lab, Boxer and Labradoodle) through out my life and pet (almost) EVERY dog I see. I would go ahead and get one myself but because being in my mid-twenties and still mobile I don't see it being so practical. Although, I would love to treat yours as my own, if only for an hour. To be honest I can go on and on about my love of animals! Anyways, I'm looking forward to meeting you and your pooch!

Dog Walking in Hell
Though its tourism industry is based on what it’s called, there’s a lot more to Hell, MI than a name you don't want your youngest child to say aloud. The town sits along a gorgeous train of lakes smack bang in the middle of a scenic state reservation area -- if you're a fan of the great outdoors, Hell might be as close to paradise as you’re going to get.
That’s not to say that its citizens haven’t embraced the moniker, though -- businesses in Hell favor diabolical puns and themed foods. There’s even a weather station that can tell you if Hell has frozen over, and a scheme by which anyone can be Mayor of Hell for a day (given a contribution to the city coffers -- even in Hell there are taxes).
There’s no designated dog park in Hell, but that doesn’t mean that you and your pooch are damned to boredom! There are some furrifically fur-friendly hiking trails in the area, and the hounds of Hell are let loose in off-leash areas just a few miles away. For doggy dining, check out the Hell Hole Bar -- they do a sinfully good fried perch, and cater to canines outside. No matter how long or short your stay, you and your pup are sure to have a heck of a time in Hell!
Best Dog Neighborhoods in Hell
Pinckney Recreation Area

Population DensityPinckney Recreation Area
48If your pooch loves hiking, a trip to Pinckney Recreation Area might make them think they’ve died and gone to heaven. This pawesome preserve completely surrounds the town of Hell, and there’s a trail here for every ability, from the fittest furry friends to less athletic animals. Pickney Recreation Area is a popular spot for camping, and it’s easy to see why -- you could lose days or weeks exploring its cedar groves, creekside walks, and lakeside beaches. Your doggo is welcome as long as they’re leashed, but watch out for wildlife!
Dexter-Pinckney Rd

Dog ParksPopulation DensityDexter-Pinckney Rd
36Someone up there has a sense of humor -- the closest dog park to Hell is run by a church. The Arise Church Dog Park is located just three miles from Hell on the outskirts of Pinckney, and it’s a pawfect place to let your little angel run free! At two acres, the dog run isn’t the largest, but there’s still plenty of space here for even the most rambunctious furball to burn off their excess energy. It’s also one of the few dog parks in this part of Michigan that doesn’t require membership. Bags and water are provided, so all you have to do is BYOB (Bring Your Own Beast)!
Hudson Mills
24Population DensityHudson Mills
24Pups and owners that like their nature a little more maintained might want to check out Hudson Mills Metropark in Dexter! The three-mile paved loop trail is mostly flat, making this an excellent stroll for older doggos who can’t quite move like they used to. You and your pooch can wander by the serene River Huron, or simply sit back on one of the benches and watch the canoes on the water. There’s plenty to do for non-furry family members, too -- from disc golf to watersports. Your canine companion will need to be leashed, of course, and remember to bring bags and water!
Downtown Dexter
12Population DensityDowntown Dexter
12Sleepy and suburban, Dexter, MI has a real laid-back, village vibe. Not only that, though -- its charming, historic downtown serves up the best in doggy dining. You’re sure to find something here to suit even the pickiest pup! For a quick bite or a pick-me-up, try Joe and Rosie’s, a locally owned cafe that welcomes wagging tails at outdoor tables. If you’re in the mood for something more substantial, consider stopping in at Aubree’s Pizzeria and Grill -- their cajun chicken tortellini is certainly an experience, and canine customers are served outside. Or for a sweet treat, check out Dexter Bakery, and enjoy a scone al fresco with your buddy.
Brighton Recreation Area
0Population DensityBrighton Recreation Area
0Brighton Recreation Area really is a mutts-visit! A happy compromise between the untamed wilderness of Pinckney Recreation Area and the well maintained lawns of the Hudson Mills Metropark, this green space makes for a fun day out for all the family. Nature loving pooches will be glad to know there are miles and miles of trails to sniff and explore, ranging from devilishly difficult treks to sedate woodland strolls. Be sure to check out Bishop’s Lake -- your doggo won’t be allowed in the water, but they’re still welcome to walk on the beach as long as they’re leashed.
