As some of you already know, we sadly lost our beloved inn dog, Oreo, to canine cancer. It has been such a difficult time for all of us and we know many of you loved Oreo as much as we did. Thank you so much for all of your love and support during this sad and heartbreaking time. Your kind words and condolences mean a lot to us.

Our other inn dog, Ozzy, was extremely attached to Oreo and was so lost without his buddy. It was beyond sad to watch him grieve for his best friend. We felt the time was right and made the decision to search for a new inn puppy.

There were certain requirements for a new inn dog. First, we needed a hypoallergenic dog for our sake and our guests. Our inn dogs are only introduced once we get approval from guests. Second, we wanted a sweet and loveable pup that would love guests and her inn duties as much as Ozzy.

We just couldn't pass up this adorable little girl once we saw her. She has only been with us a couple of weeks but she is already excited to be an inn dog at The Lion and the Rose. Hopefully you all agree that she is a great addition to our family 🙂
