Living in Hillsboro means embracing the best of the Pacific Northwest—a unique blend of innovative spirit from the Silicon Forest and the stunning natural beauty Oregon is famous for. It’s an incredible place to be a dog owner, offering a diverse lifestyle that a new puppy will fit into perfectly. Whether you’re living in a family home in Orenco Station or an apartment in Tanasbourne, your new pup will have a world of adventure waiting for them.

For those essential bursts of off-leash energy and socialization, Hondo Dog Park is a local legend. This expansive, 6-acre park is a canine paradise, featuring separate, fully-fenced areas for small and large dogs, seasonal water features, and plenty of space for a game of fetch. It’s a fantastic spot for your puppy to make new friends (both canine and human!) and become a well-socialized member of the Hillsboro community.

When you’re in the mood for a more scenic, on-leash adventure, Orenco Woods Nature Park is your go-to destination. Imagine strolling with your pup along paved and soft-surface trails that wind through majestic trees and past unique public art installations. It’s the perfect setting for a calm afternoon walk, allowing your new companion to experience the sights and smells of an Oregon nature preserve. This balance of energetic park play and serene trail walks is what makes being a dog owner in Hillsboro so rewarding.

Safe & Swift Delivery to Your Hillsboro Home

We understand that the most important question is, “How will my puppy get to me safely?” At PuppyGuyz, your puppy’s well-being is our absolute top priority. We’ve perfected a delivery process that is both safe and stress-free. The vast majority of our puppies travel to their new homes via a dedicated ground transport partner. These professional handlers use climate-controlled vehicles specifically designed for the comfort and safety of pets. Your puppy will have food, water, and regular potty breaks throughout their journey.

For our clients in the Hillsboro area, we can typically complete the delivery in one week or less from the time you reserve your puppy. This swift timeline means less waiting and more time for you to bond with your new family member. In certain situations, we may also coordinate with a flight nanny who personally accompanies the puppy in the cabin of a commercial flight into Portland (PDX), followed by a direct drive to your home. We handle all the logistics, so all you have to do is prepare to welcome your puppy at your front door. Our process is transparent, secure, and designed to bring a healthy, happy puppy directly to you.

A Trusted Veterinarian in Hillsboro for Your Puppy’s First Check-Up

One of the first and most important steps after your puppy arrives is their first wellness check-up with a local veterinarian. This initial visit establishes a baseline of health and builds a relationship with a professional you can trust for years to come. While you have many great options in the area, we want to offer a helpful suggestion. For your puppy’s important first wellness check, many residents of Hillsboro trust Frontier Veterinary Hospital. Their team is consistently praised in reviews for their compassionate approach and thorough examinations for new puppies. They take the time to answer all your questions, making them a wonderful choice in your community to ensure your new companion gets the best possible start. We recommend calling them to schedule your puppy’s first appointment as soon as you have a delivery date confirmed.

Getting Ready for Your Puppy in Hillsboro

The day your puppy arrives is incredibly exciting! A little preparation can make the transition smooth for everyone. Here’s a simple checklist to get you started on your journey as a Hillsboro pet parent:

Make it Official

The City of Hillsboro is located in Washington County, which requires all dogs to be licensed. Once your puppy is settled, one of your first tasks should be to register them with Washington County Animal Services. This is a crucial step for responsible pet ownership and helps ensure your pet can be returned to you if they ever get lost.

Puppy-Proof Your Home

Get down on your hands and knees to see the world from a puppy’s perspective. Secure loose wires, move toxic plants, and ensure cleaning supplies are safely out of reach.

 

Gather Your Supplies
  • You’ll need the essentials: a comfortable bed, food and water bowls, a collar or harness, a leash, and some fun chew toys. For high-quality food and unique supplies, consider stopping by a local favorite like Nature’s Pet Market on NE Cornell Road. Supporting a local business is a great way to get expert advice and become part of the local pet community.

What's the first thing I should do with my puppy in Hillsboro once they arrive?

The first 24 hours are all about a calm and gentle introduction. When your puppy arrives, take them to their designated potty spot in your yard first. Then, bring them inside and let them explore their new home at their own pace. Show them where their food, water, and bed are located. Focus on quiet time and bonding, and save the exciting trip to Hondo Dog Park for after they’ve had their first vet check-up and are fully settled in.
