A new way to “train” your dog…
Departing Pleasant Lake, Indiana, on October 5th, the Fort Wayne Railroad and Indiana Rail Experience will host the Tails & Ales Train for good dogs and their owners on a festive 1.5-hour trip through the countryside. Tickets include a train ride, drink ticket, puppy treats, and swag, and a portion of the proceeds will benefit local animal care.
Hosted in combination with the Dekalb Humane Society and Community Humane Shelter of Steuben County, join Scoops Ice Cream, Charlie Horse Brewing, and local pet vendors and adoption candidates for a memorable outing with your best friend.
The train features coach and table seating for pets and their owners aboard our air-conditioned, climate-controlled cars. Our complimentary open-air cars will be open to all guests and tickets are also available for non-pet owners, too! Tickets for non-pet owners are available, as well.
Pet Rules & Requirements
Our 2023 event was safe and successful because our guests followed our guidelines! Help make our 2024 event just as great!
To attend, all dogs must be socialized, well-behaved, in good health, leashed via collar or harness, have trimmed nails, clean coats, and be up-to-date on vaccinations.
Guests must provide current immunization records during the event and be ready to present them at check-in. This event will feature moving vehicles, and infrequent loud noises in a public setting. Your dog should be able to navigate stairs and stairwells.
Excessive barking amid unsocialized dogs is not permitted. Please use your best judgment as a responsible pet owner to help ensure this event is safe and enjoyable for everyone.
