77.8 Mile Appalachian Trail Section Hike

4/13/2019

Jake and I spent 11 days backpacking the Georgia portion of the Appalachian Trail in April with Sammy, our Red Heeler rescue dog. We intended to do a thru hike but found that thru hiking wasn’t our thing so we opted to get off trail and start traveling around the United States!

We thought we would share our experience of our 77.8 mile section hike!

Thru Hiking with a Dog on the Appalachian Trail

We will be bringing Sammy, our youngest dog, with us on our thru hike of the Appalachian Trail. He is a 38lb red heeler mix that we adopted last August. He is such a character and full of energy! We are getting him all geared up for the trip and even bought him special dog food. For those looking to do the same with their dog, here is what we have learned to prepare our little fur baby for the trip!

With this being our first thru hike we did quite a bit of research on the particulars of bringing a dog.

Hello world! My name is Sammy and I am the newest addition to the Karras household! I was adopted last August while I was sitting outside of PetSmart watching all these humans and furry animals go by. I was just wagging my tail and trying to look as cute as possible because I could tell something BIG was going to happen that day! I was rescued by Friends of Pets out of Chadron, NE. They saved me from a kill shelter out of New Mexico. It was scary living on the street when I was really little.

I was raised with four Labradors for most of my life. I enjoyed having one or two around and didn’t mind taking care of them too much. But my sister was always the one all the dogs loved. And she was really good with dogs and very patient…I was not! When I was younger, taking care of that many dogs was a pain. Making sure they had enough exercise, food, water and cleaning their kennel wasn’t something I enjoyed.
