Wild dogs in the Outer Banks

The Outer Banks (aka OBX) is a long 200 mile long stretch of islands and beaches off of the coast of North Carolina. They are home to wild horses, pirate lore and historical homes. They are also home to wild foxes and small wild dogs. The dogs are possibly feral dogs that have gone wild generations ago since most tourists report seeing wild dogs that they can't quite describe as fitting into the regular descriptions of wolves, coyotes or foxes.

Many of the wildlife habitats in the obx do not allow dogs so if you are visiting the area it is best to find out about the rules regarding dogs before you go. Many obx vacation rentals and hotels do allow dogs but if you can't go anywhere with your dog when you get there, what is the point of taking your dog with you?
