Dog-Friendly Portland, OR
Discover dog-friendly cafés, bars, and parks in Portland, Oregon—patios, off-leash areas, and local tips for visiting with your pup.
Portland is one of the most dog-forward cities in the Pacific Northwest. Expect patios with water bowls, breweries that embrace pups, and a city network of 30+ designated off-leash areas across neighborhoods. Use this guide to find reliable cafés, taverns with dog parks, and green spaces to roam. Before you go, check local leash rules and choose cooler hours on warm days—your dog will thank you.
  • Tips for visiting with your dog:
  • Leash policy: Dogs must be leashed in most parks except in designated off-leash areas. Enforcement has tightened in 2025—fines apply where off-leash is prohibited.
  • Forest Park: beautiful, but leash is mandatory on all trails.
  • Heat & water: carry water; creek/lake conditions can change seasonally.
