Well over here in CA, there are lots of places that are doggy friendly, BUT they are open air shopping malls, or FANCY SCHMANCY indoor shopping malls. For example, any one in the OC will know what I mean. They don't allow dogs in the Brea mall (middle class mall, but on the fancy side), but they allow them at South coast plaza (upper middle class mall with Gucci, LV, Dior, you get the idea), even though any indoor establishment should not allow dogs unless they are service animals.

Any place that has food also does not allow dogs. BUT if your dog is very quiet (mine is not) you can get a kwigy bo bag (looks like a purse) and bring them anywhere. In CA everyone carries HUGE bags, so no second looks if you have a huge bag that happens to be a dog bag. I used to take Uni to the grocery store in a bag, and people/employees would ask me if they could see her! They loved her! It just depends on the place.

Oh also Home depot says no dog on their doors, but I took Uni in the garden dept before too, no one said anything. Another member here (I forget who) said they brought their pup in the design consultation area too, so just depends.
