You want to hike with a dog, that good for you. 
BUT the other hikers in the shelter may not want to hike with a dog. 

1. They do not want to have your or anyone's dog walking over their sleeping 
bag with its muddy feet. 
2. They do not want it knocking over their food.
3. They do not want to get bit.
All of this has happen in the shelters. The Shelters are for people.
