The Promenade Shops at Saucon Valley in Upper Saucon Township

One popular local destination for Fido owners is the Promenade Shops at Saucon Valley–a “dog-friendly shopping center” in Upper Saucon Township.

Some stores at the Promenade Shops even allow leashed, well-behaved dogs inside.

But there are rules in place for the safety of all who visit the Promenade Shops, and it’s a good idea to know them before you and your four-legged pal head for Center Valley.

The center’s Canine Code of Conduct includes the following regulations:

  • All dogs must be leashed or contained inside a carrier at all times. Leashes must be no longer than six feet, including retractable leashes.
  • Dogs must be under the direct control of their owners at all times.
  • Owners must be 18 or older, and by law are responsible for the behavior of their dogs.
  • At no time is an owner permitted to leave his or her dog unattended.
  • Dogs are not permitted to enter any restaurants or food related stores unless they are service-oriented dogs.
  • Dogs are not permitted in any water displays, fountains or the pond.
  • Dog owners are required to pick up and properly dispose of the feces of their dogs.
  • Dogs are not permitted to urinate on buildings or hardscapes.
  • Dogs must be licensed and have a current vaccination for rabies.
  • Dog owners must comply with the laws, rules and regulations of the state of Pennsylvania and local codes relating to dogs.

Promenade Shops mall management also reserves the right to ask a dog owner to remove his or her dog from the premises if at any time the dog causes a disturbance or behaves aggressively.

The following shops at the center are “dog-friendly” and allow dogs inside (look for a self-identifying sticker on their doors or windows): Aeropostale, Aerosoles, American Eagle Outfitters, Apricot Lane, Athleta, Banana Republic (small dogs only), Claire’s (small dogs only), Clarks, Color Me Mine Pottery Studio, Dandelion, Evolve Salon & Spa, Francesca’s Collection, GailGray Home (small dogs only), Gap, GapKids | BabyGap, J.Jill, Johnston & Murphy, Jos. A. Bank, Kay Jewelers, Loft, Lucky Brand Jeans, Murphy Jewelers, Old Navy, Pandora, Plow & Hearth, Sage, Sneakerking, Verizon Wireless-The Cellular Connection, White House | Black Market and Yankee Candle.
