Black Miniature Pinscher Zwergpinscher, Min Pin Sitting On Green Grass.

Hattiesburg is a city that perfectly blends vibrant energy with classic Southern charm, making it a fantastic place to raise a puppy. The city’s access to beautiful outdoor spaces means your new best friend will have plenty of room to run, play, and explore. Imagine starting your weekends with a leisurely stroll or an energetic jog along the famous Longleaf Trace. This 44-mile paved trail, starting right in town, is a local treasure and the perfect place for your pup to experience the sights and sounds of Pine Belt nature on a leash.

For off-leash fun and socialization, the Hattiesburg-Petal Dog Park on James Street is the go-to destination. With separate areas for large and small dogs, it’s a safe and well-maintained space where your puppy can make new friends and burn off that boundless energy. As your puppy grows, you can explore the wider natural beauty surrounding the city, like the trails at Paul B. Johnson State Park, just a short drive away. Whether you’re a student at Southern Miss, raising a family in Lake Terrace, or enjoying life in the historic Avenues, a puppy from PuppyGuyz will fit right into the active and friendly Hattiesburg lifestyle, becoming a beloved companion on all your local adventures.

We cover the entire 39401, 39402, and surrounding zip codes.

What are the payment options for my puppy? I'm nervous about paying online.

We understand completely, which is why we created a payment model built on trust. To reserve your puppy, we require a 50% deposit. The remaining balance is not due until your puppy is delivered safely into your arms in Hattiesburg. This “pay-on-delivery” model is our peace-of-mind guarantee, ensuring you are completely comfortable and confident throughout the entire process.

What's the very first thing I should do with my new puppy in Hattiesburg?

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 their crate, bed, and water bowl. Focus on quiet time and bonding. Your second step should be calling your local Hattiesburg vet to confirm the wellness check-up you scheduled.
