Of all the cities in Alabama, Birmingham has been named the #1 spot for visiting with your pup, and we couldn’t agree more. Livability broke down the most “Fido Friendly” cities across the country, considering things like dog-friendly establishments, trails, dog parks and more.

Bham pet owners won’t be surprised by the honor, we do have a luxury dog resort in Lakeview, after all. Let’s take a closer look at the spots that got national attention from the site and helped us claim our title.

Don’t miss Remy’s Dog Park

We’re fortunate to have a number of incredible dog parks in the Birmingham area. Remy’s Dog Park, located within Red Mountain Park, got a special shout out.

Remy’s is one of the most popular dog parks in town, thanks to its dedicated areas for small dogs, large dogs and dogs with special needs. Named after his beloved dog, the park was a passion project developed by local philanthropist Ken Jackson.

Location: 2011 Frankfurt Dr, Birmingham, AL 35211

Avondale & Good People are puppy paradise

Two of the many Birmingham breweries were also recognized as being the perfect place for pups. Both Avondale Brewing Company and Good People Brewing Company made the cut. Of course, we’re not surprised—Avondale Brewery took home a Bham Now Nowie Award for “Most Dog Friendly” earlier this year.

Avondale Brewing Company: 201 41st St S, Birmingham, AL 35222
Good People Brewing Company: 114 14th St S, Birmingham, AL 35233
