The Presidential Pet Museum was founded in 1999 as a repository and means of preserving information, artifacts, and items related to the Presidential Pets. The Museum is planing on re-opening in Glen Allen, Virginia and will have a new, facinating, educational and interesting exhibit on display. As part of the National Dog Park, that is also in the planning stages, they are located at the Dude Ranch Pet Resort.  This facility features 47+ acres of resort grounds, a  5,000+ indoor performance hall, fully climate controlled  for boarding, events, grooming and training.  Visit the gift shop, the pool and the stables. Become involved with the Pet Museum supporters who will make the  Museum an intragal part of the Resort.  Children learn by association and what better way to educate visitors about our Presidency, than through the White House Pets. Nearly every President had a pet, both exotic and common, and one can learn about them all, now at the VIRTUAL Presidential Pet Museum.

The Museum highlights past and current White House Pets. Visit our new photo gallery of Bo Obama, a six-month old Portuguese water dog, a gift from Senator and Mrs. Kennedy to the Obama family. See a strange portrait of President Reagain's Lucky made from her own hair. See photos and exhibits of famous pets like George Washington's Horse, Nelson, the Clinton's famous Buddy and Socks and the Bush White House Pets, Miss Beazley, Barney, a Scottish Terrier, and Spot, a Springer Spaniel (recently deceased), and many more.  The Presidential Pet Museum has moved to Glen Allen, Virginia to become a part of the Dude Ranch Pet Resort.    

     Our Goal this year is to raise $50,000 to remodel and re-open the Museum as part of the NATIONAL DOG PARK and the DUDE RANCH PET RESORT.  We urge you to become a part of the process. call 410-266-1484 for more information. Visit, www.facebook.com/#1petmuseum.
