The 72,000 acre Valentine National Wildlife Refuge is located in the heart of the Nebraska Sandhills, a vast area of grass blanketed sand dunes, which flow across north-central Nebraska. Lakes and marshes in the valleys and prairie grasses in the hills and meadows provide habitat for many kinds of wildlife like the prairie chicken. Dogs are welcome on most of the refuge as long as they are kept on a leash. If dogs are in a moving car, the refuge asks that windows be kept partially rolled up so dogs can’t jump out. All of these precautions protects wildlife, the native habitat and your dog.
