My Top 5 Dog-Friendly Places To Shop

Are you looking for a place to shop with a little company
from your furry friend?

We have a list of places to shop throughout the city that would love to have your doggo hang out.

1. SHOP LOCAL!  I photographed 54 local businesses since the Pandemic and you can see this project on my Instagram, @Cusicphotocommercial.  Save the planet!

2. Chicago’s famous Magnificent Mile has several pet-friendly stores such as Nordstrom, Bloomingdales, TJ Maxx, Marshall’s, and Apple. Just make sure that your dog is leashed and well-behaved while you shop. In addition to shopping, the Mag Mile also has many pet-friendly hotels and restaurants!

3. Lush Cosmetics has various locations throughout the city and is a very pet-friendly company. Lush has a no-testing policy on animals for all of their projects and strongly encourage bringing your pet into their stores worldwide.

4. Barnes and Noble is not only a great place to relax with a good book, but it is also a great place to relax with with your dog. Barnes and Noble has been notable for allowing pets inside but remember that dogs are not allowed in their on-site coffee shops.

5. Restoration Hardware is not only a unique and fashionable furniture store but they are also very pet friendly.  Just make sure you keep your dog on a leash and if you break it, you buy it!

6.  The Shops at North Bridge welcome dogs of all sizes in all of their stores but make sure to feed them beforehand because the food court is off limits!
Enjoy your day out, and of course, don’t forget your puppers!

    Meet Tootsie 💛
    ⠀
    Surrendered by her owner, Tootsie arrived at Hinsdale Humane Society with little to no information about her past. That’s where we stepped in.
    ⠀
    Nicole, Administrative Manager at Hinsdale Humane Society, brought Tootsie to us and is part of this moment you’re seeing—helping us begin to understand who Tootsie really is.
    ⠀
    The See Hear Love Project is the only project that combines animal communication and professional photography—helping uncover each dog’s story and showing who they truly are.
    ⠀
    Now it’s Tootsie’s turn to be seen for exactly who she is 💫
    ⠀
    Seen. Heard. Loved.
    ⠀

    Avalanche didn’t start life this way.
    ⠀
    Rescued from a hoarding situation through @reddoorshelter, his world was once crowded, uncertain, and far from safe.
    ⠀
    But something beautiful happened—
    his foster saw him… and never let him go.
    ⠀
    Avalanche is now home.
    ⠀
    ⠀
    Seen. Heard. Loved.

    Meet Blanca.
    Rescued, but still learning how to feel safe again.
    During her animal communication session, Blanca shared a feeling of being abandoned in the rain—until Michelle, her foster mom, found her and brought her to safety.
    “I’m scared… but I’m trying.”
    She’s waiting for someone to show her she’s finally home.
    Blanca and other incredible animals are available for adoption at SAYv Animal Organization (@sayvanimalorg).

    This is Part 2 of Ramona’s story from The See Hear Love Project™ — a Chicago-based initiative combining animal communication and fine-art photography to help foster animals be seen, heard, and adopted.
    Each session begins with an on-camera communication reading followed by a professional portrait session, allowing foster animals to connect with potential adopters through emotion and storytelling.
    Ramona’s message is part of a larger mission to bring visibility to animals waiting for homes and to highlight the life-saving power of fostering.

    Your best friend at home deserves to be celebrated.
    Not just in your camera roll — but in fine art that lives on your wall.
    That’s why I hire a professional trainer for every session.
    Because your best friend deserves to feel safe, calm, and supported while we create something beautiful.
    And because women celebrate everyone else in their lives…
    Why not the one who waits for you at home?

    For the women who love fiercely — and the dogs who love them right back. 🖤
    ⠀
    That kind of connection deserves to be remembered as art.
