What is a BARK Ranger?

BARK stands for Bag your pet's waste, Always leash your pet, Respect wildlife, and Know where you can go. These are the National Park Service principles for visiting a park with a pet.

Some parks give visiting pups a BARK Ranger tag or badge after you take that park's pledge, but only when the park or NPS says the program includes one. Read more on the NPS BARK Ranger page.
