#2 City Center
36If you’re looking for a different experience with your dog, head to City Center in Santa Fe for an art gallery experience like nothing your dog has seen before. The Andrew Smith Gallery is a restored Victorian era home turned into a feast for the eyes. It houses historic, classic, and contemporary photographs. While your dog might not see the appeal (most dogs prefer life action art to photography), they’re sure to love beating the Santa Fe heat with a trip indoors! Leashed dogs are welcome, and popular, in the Andrew Smith Gallery.

#4 Auga Fria
12The neighborhood of Auga Fria in Santa Fe has two gorgeous places for dogs to stretch their legs. The first is the incredible Santa Fe Animal Shelter Park. This park, hosted by the animal shelter, provides lots of fenced in space for dogs to run and play. There are separate areas for large and small dogs, and a few single-use runs. These runs are for dogs who need to run, but aren’t friendly enough to put in with the pack. Auga Fria Park is more central to the neighborhood, and free for on-leash walking when you just need to burn some energy.

#5 Hyde Park
0Hyde Memorial State Park borders on the Hyde Park neighborhood of Santa Fe. This large park offers camping and day-use. The loop hiking trails are the main draw for hikers and dog-walkers alike. The steep terrain of the area makes every walk a workout, and some trails will result in over 1,000 feet of elevation change by the time you’re back where you started! Dogs must be leashed, but with all there is to sniff, see, and hear, that won’t be a problem for most inquisitive pooches.Dog neighborhood?
