Mason sits in the southwest corner of Warren County, about 22 miles up I-71 from downtown Cincinnati, and it is one of the easier places in the region to own a dog. The city keeps more than 330 developed acres of parkland across eight parks, and dogs and cats are welcome in every one of them on a leash.

The off-leash spot is Pawmyra Dog Park, roughly four fenced acres in the lower section of Mason Sports Park on Mason Morrow Millgrove Road, with separate large and small dog areas, a dog water fountain and paved walkways. Reading Road is Mason's vet row: three practices within a few blocks of each other, and Mason Animal Hospital runs a dedicated urgent care service.

Dog licensing and the dog warden are county functions. Warren County licenses go on sale December 1 and are due by January 31, and the county's only shelter, the Humane Association of Warren County, is a short drive north in Lebanon.
