Shepherd Texas...?

Going to shepherd Texas to pick up a puppy.

Seems like a very small town, can’t find any useful info.

What’s the closest bigger city or decent sized town that will have a good hotel (dog friendly) and restaurant?

Thanks in advance!

That is a heck of a drive from Colorado!

Your not too far from the Houston suburbs. Cleveland or Livingston will both have what you need. FYI - All La Quinta Inns are pet friendly. Only problem is, some La Quintas rank in the Motel 6 category and some in the Hampton Inn / Holiday Inn Express category. Best to check photos on their website.

Be sure to swing by Tallent Sausage. Not but a few miles off your path, and worth the detour. I always lay in a supply on my way from Houston back to Cañon City, CO.

It is a good drive, just under 16 hours. Found the puppy we want so the drive is worth it.

Thanks for the info, I’ll check out Cleveland and Livingston.

Thanks for the recommendation; we’ll have to check it out.

Safe travels and great to hear you found a new family member.

Lived in TX all my 70 years and never heard of it! But there are many like that. Good luck to you.

Indeed, congrats on the newest family member.
