Jonesboro is a city with a big heart and a wonderful sense of community, making it an incredible place to raise a puppy. The lifestyle here strikes a perfect balance between vibrant city amenities, thanks to Arkansas State University, and the relaxed, friendly pace of the Arkansas Delta. A new puppy will fit right into the active and family-oriented way of life that defines your hometown.

Imagine the adventures awaiting you and your new best friend. Your first destination will undoubtedly be the crown jewel of local outdoor life: Craighead Forest Park. This is more than just a park; it’s a puppy paradise. You can start with on-leash training walks along the beautiful 4.5-mile trail that circles the lake, letting your pup experience all the new sights and sounds of the forest. As they grow and become more socialized, the dedicated off-leash dog park within Craighead Forest is the perfect place to run free and make new four-legged friends.

For daily strolls and neighborhood exploration, the Jonesboro Greenway Trail system is an invaluable asset. This network of paved paths winds through the city, providing a safe and scenic route for you and your puppy to get your daily exercise. You’ll share friendly waves with fellow dog lovers and become part of the city’s active outdoor community. Whether you’re enjoying a sunny afternoon by the lake or a quiet morning walk on the trail, raising a dog in Jonesboro is an experience filled with opportunities for bonding and creating lasting memories.

Safe & Swift Delivery to Your Jonesboro Home

A common question we receive from Jonesboro families is, “How does my puppy get to me safely?” We’ve perfected our puppy home delivery process to prioritize your new family member’s health, safety, and comfort above all else. Since we don’t have a physical kennel for you to visit in Jonesboro, we bring the puppy directly to you.

The vast majority of our puppies travel via our trusted ground transport partners. These are not standard courier services; they are professional animal handlers who operate climate-controlled vehicles specifically designed for pet travel. Your puppy will travel in a secure, clean enclosure with plenty of room to rest. The journey includes regular stops for fresh food, water, exercise, and potty breaks, all managed by experienced professionals who truly care about their precious cargo.

For certain situations or breeds, a dedicated Flight Nanny may be used, where a chaperone personally accompanies your puppy on a flight into a nearby airport and completes the delivery to your door.

From the moment you choose your puppy, we coordinate the safest and most efficient travel plan. For residents across the Jonesboro area, the entire process—from confirming your puppy to their arrival at your front door—is typically one week or less. We handle all the logistics, so you can focus on preparing your home and heart for your new arrival.

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

One of the first and most important steps you’ll take as a new pet parent is establishing a relationship with a great local veterinarian. This initial wellness check is crucial for confirming your puppy’s health and getting them started on a proper vaccination schedule. While Jonesboro has many excellent vets, we want to offer a helpful suggestion based on community feedback.

For your puppy’s important first wellness check, many residents of Jonesboro trust the Animal Medical Center of Jonesboro. Their team is often praised by local pet owners for their compassionate, thorough approach and for taking the time to answer all the questions new puppy parents inevitably have. They understand the unique needs of a young puppy and are known for their gentle handling, which can make that first vet visit a positive experience. Choosing a well-regarded local clinic like the Animal Medical Center is a wonderful way to ensure your puppy gets the best possible start in your community.

Getting Ready for Your Puppy in Jonesboro

The day your puppy is scheduled to arrive is incredibly exciting! To ensure a smooth transition, it’s wise to have everything ready ahead of time. Here is a simple checklist of things to do in Jonesboro to prepare for your new family member.

Handle the Official Business

First, be a responsible Jonesboro pet owner. We strongly recommend looking into the city’s requirements for pet licensing and registration with Jonesboro Animal Control. Getting this sorted out early ensures you’re in compliance with local ordinances and helps keep your pet safe.

Stock Up on Supplies

Next, it’s time for a fun shopping trip! Your puppy will need essentials like food (we’ll tell you what they’re currently eating), a comfortable bed, a crate for training, food and water bowls, a collar, and a leash. While national chains are an option, consider visiting a store like Hollywood Feed on E. Highland Dr. for high-quality food, unique toys, and knowledgeable staff who can help you pick out the perfect first gear.

Puppy-Proof Your Home

Get down on your hands and knees and see the world from a puppy’s perspective. Secure electrical cords, move toxic plants, and ensure any cleaning supplies or chemicals are safely out of reach.

Your Jonesboro Puppy Delivery FAQs

Can you deliver to my specific neighborhood in Jonesboro?

Absolutely. Our “door-to-door” promise means exactly that. Whether you live in the Sage Meadows community, in a neighborhood near the ASU campus, in historic downtown, or anywhere else in the greater Jonesboro metro area, our delivery service will bring your puppy right to your home. We coordinate with you directly to arrange a convenient and precise delivery window.

What are the payment options for my puppy?

We designed our payment model to build trust and provide you with complete peace of mind. To reserve your chosen puppy, we require a 50% deposit. The remaining 50% balance is not due until our delivery driver arrives at your Jonesboro home and you can meet your new puppy in person. This transparent process ensures you are completely comfortable and confident before making your final payment.

What's the first thing I should do with my puppy in Jonesboro?

The very first thing is to give them a calm and gentle introduction to your home. Take them to their designated potty spot in your yard immediately. Let them explore their new space at their own pace without overwhelming them with too many people or too much excitement. After they’ve had a day or two to settle in, the next crucial step is to take them for their first wellness check with your chosen Jonesboro veterinarian, like the one we recommended above.
