Our Pet Policy

All of us at Queen Valley Mule Ranch love dogs, cats, and other companion animals—and we understand why many people like to take their pets with them when they travel.  Because of the size of Queen Valley Mule Ranch, the presence of mules and donkeys, the magnitude of the training environment and restrictions imposed by our insurance company, dogs and other companion animals cannot be permitted at Queen Valley Mule Ranch.  Attendees will not be permitted to bring dogs or other pets into the ranch.  We strongly encourage you to leave your pet at home and make other arrangements for your pet's care rather than keeping it in your vehicle in the parking lot at the ranch.

Note:  Queen Valley Mule Ranch will comply with federal, state, and local laws pertaining to service dogs and will grant access for these animals in accordance with all applicable laws.
