What Makes Sutherlin a Pet-Friendly City?
Sutherlin is known for its community dog park and annual Woofstock Festival, held the third weekend each June. It has ample walking trails throughout town, with doggy waste bags stations available to meet pet owner needs. Many business owners in town have a resident pet in their office or store to welcome guests.
For all these reasons, Sutherlin says it’s a community for pets – both those who live there and those who visit. Its location directly on Interstate 5 brings travelers from all directions.
