The Best Dog-Friendly Destinations of 2026: Portland, Oregon

Most breweries and cafes throughout the city have dog-friendly patios, and it’s likely that Portland’s penchant for canines contributed heavily to the rise of the acclaimed food truck pods that are famous spread across the city. After visiting any of the aforementioned, stroll the Willamette River waterfront path, and at some point during your trip visit Fetch Coffeeroasters, where your dog will be happier about your cup of coffee than you are.

Even in the heart of downtown, you’ll find off-leash areas like Sellwood Riverfront Park and Mt. Tabor Park where dogs can play freely and meet new friends. The city has plenty of green space and parks and a very pro-dog atmosphere throughout. Nearly 40 percent of households in Oregon have a dog, so yours will be in good company, no matter where in the city you stay.
