Historic Ellicott City offers plenty of dog-friendly activities

The Wine Bin is a unique wine boutique featuring wines from all over the world, with an emphasis on quality and accessibility, over mass-production and inflated price tags. Wine doesn't have to be fussy or expensive to be appreciated, and The Wine Bin boasts over 200 wines under $20. The store is pet-friendly and dogs are allowed to accompany owners as they shop. The Wine Bin is also hosting a Yappy Hour from 6-8 p.m. on September 18th. Dogs are welcome, and the event features chocolate and wine tasting.

The Yuppy Puppy Pet Boutique features tons of adorable items geared more toward little dogs including ultra-cute sweaters and outfits, although there are leashes, collars, and a selection of toys that work for large breeds. The Yuppy Puppy also has specialty treats which are hand-iced and in a wide variety of whimsical shapes and colors. There is also a cat section with toys and accessories so kitties won't feel too left out.

Historic Ellicott City has lots of outdoor patio seating and benches which make for a pet-friendly way to spend a leisurely afternoon touring the historic mill town.
