Shop Dog

When we were young and foolish, we dreamed of owning businesses where we could surround ourselves with the things we love. Years later, after office jobs, kitchen crews, crazy bosses and underpaid grumblings... we're finally getting there.

One of the biggest pillars of our  mission is our love for dogs. Big, small, smart, dopey- we love them all!
But dogs don't understand 9 to 5. They are full time buddies who wait patiently while we trudge to our offices 5 days a week. Which is why we believe in Shop Dogs. Those crazy critters you find in quaint stores, boutiques and even some small restaurants. Great Lakes Adventure is all about "Bring Your Dog to Work" day... everyday!

Meet Scout. Our official Shop Dog.

At 12 weeks old, this rescued Black Lab mix puppy is training like a pro- learning how to heel, sit and stay- as well as the ins and outs of tents, sleeping bags, backcountry trails and how to run alongside a bicycle.

Keep an eye on our future trips- because there will definitely be some dog-friendly travels in our future!
