The sign outside Stephen Huneck's Dog Chapel reads:

"All Creeds All Breeds No Dogmas Allowed"

It's a clear message that all dogs--and all dog owners--are welcome here.

The Dog Chapel, the grounds and the Stephen Huneck Gallery at Dog Mountain are open free to visitors daily year-round. As of 2009, hours are Monday through Saturday from 10 a.m. until 5 p.m. and Sunday from 11 a.m. until 4 p.m.

While it is designed to resemble a small Vermont village church, the Dog Chapel and its environs are a non-denominational place in which to celebrate the spiritual connection between dogs and people. Whatever your religious beliefs, and whatever the color, size, breed and slobber factor of your dog, the one thing you'll be sure of by the time you leave the Dog Chapel is that heavenly rewards await all faithful, four-legged companions when their time on Earth is through.
