This was a nice stop on our way from VT to NH. Depending on if you have your dog with you, will determine the amount of time you can/want to spend there. The chapel is beautiful with all the notes to passed dogs. It has a beautiful view of the country. We spent less than 30 minutes there, but enjoyed our time.
This is easily one of the best places for dog lovers. It's very touching and you can see why it's so amazing when you first pull up.
This place was amazing.Dog park, dog chapel, gallery of art work and gift shop.The history in and of itself is interesting, but people's response is fantastic. It's amazing to see how people value their dogs (and other pets!).\Lots of pictures, beautiful grounds, terrific staff in the gallery, and really nice dogs in the park and on the grounds. Parking is a little difficult (steep, with some pot holes - difficult in a little car), but is available, handicap parking is more accessible.Highly recommend, even if it's a little out of the way <3
What a wonderful place. It is definitely worth the stop if you are a dog lover. The tribute walls will bring you to tears.
It is a place to celebrate the life of your dog when there gone. When you go bring a picture of your dog and pin it up in the chapel with a note about your dog.
It's a small white chapel. with a dozen of seats and some art work of Stephen Huneck. The walls of the Chapel's are covered with photos of dead pets, along with messages from mourning owners. Just next to it, you can visit the art gallery and gift shop just located next to the Dog Chapel, there is also a walking path were your dog can run free. It's located a couple of miles east of St. Johnsbury, on Rt. 2, on Spaulding Rd.
Our 7 year old granddaughter, a dog lover, was the reason for our stop here on a trip from Massachusetts to Montreal. She loved it! There was only one other person there with a dog. We wrote a tribute to all of our dogs long gone and she posted it on the wall. A fun stop if you are driving in the area.
The artist and his wife created a loving tribute to our four-legged friends in the form of a chapel in which the walls are covered with pictures and messages from people who have lost a beloved dog. It's very moving to read people's tributes to the dogs they loved so much.You can take your dog inside the chapel and in the gallery. There's even a walking trail (dog-friendly of course) and a small pond for your dog to swim in! Definitely worth a trip if you're in the area.
If you love your dog or all dogs, then don't miss seeing The Dog Chapel. This chapel is one of a kind anywhere in the world. Go on line and check it out. Become a friend of Dog Mountain to help preserve this special place.
Dog lovers should visit! What a happy creative place. I happen to be a lab lover so this was right up my alley. Cant even begin to recall the many things we saw there... The Chapel itself is full of prayers for dogs. Enjoy this place there arent any others like it that I ever saw and I try to get around a lot!
