I take mine in alot of non food carrying stores here in Georgia. I either carry her, put her in the cart or have her in her carrier. I can't remember but one home depot that told me she couldn't come in but they let her come in the next time. It just so happened that the manger that I ask does resue and she told me just to let her know if they said no again. My bank won't let her in so we go to the drive through and they always give her a treat.
