From the historic Depot Square to the sprawling trails of Shelby Farms, Arlington offers a serene lifestyle for active pets and their owners.

Arlington, Tennessee, offers a charming blend of historic character and expansive outdoor recreation near the Memphis metro area. Situated in Shelby County, pups can enjoy the scenic beauty of the Loosahatchie River valley and the town's many green spaces. While mostly residential, many locals take the short drive west to the world-renowned Shelby Farms Park. This canine crown jewel features "The Outback," a massive 100-acre off-leash area with ponds and miles of trails where socialized dogs can roam free.

Back in Arlington, the growing downtown district provides a quiet environment for leashed walks, while proximity to Memphis ensures premium indoor play options and pet-centric events are always within reach. Whether you are seeking apartment living tips or looking for local veterinary care along Highway 64, Arlington provides a supportive backdrop for you and your dog. From the historic charm of Depot Square to the rugged trails of the nearby Shelby Farms Greenline, Arlington delivers the best of the Volunteer State's outdoor hospitality.
