PORTLAND — Portland International Airport on Thursday opened its post-security Pet Relief Area.
At the south end of the “concourse connector,” the pet restroom is “equipped with a swath of artificial grass topped with a fire hydrant, refuse bags, a sink and a bench,” reads a press release. “The space is ADA/wheelchair accessible and includes a tactile map, a counter for luggage and passenger possessions and cheerful graphics.”
The airport said it picked a location that wasn’t close to shops, restaurants or waiting areas. The area is meant for service animals but can be used by those traveling with animals who must remain in their crates at the terminal.
