A Pet Friendly Place
Greater Grand Forks is The Best City for Dog Lovers
We make fetch happen. We love your pets as much as you do and there are plenty of reasons why we’re the best city for dog lovers. There’s room to explore all around Grand Forks county.
Dig around a little and you’ll find miles of pet-friendly trails for you and your pooch to explore, like the Greenway in downtown Grand Forks and the hiking trails of Turtle River State Park.
Looking for a puppy playdate? Check out the Lincoln Park Dog Park or Circle of Friends Humane Society Dog Park and let your pups run free! PetCo also has options every weekend for get togethers. And if your doggo doesn’t like to be home alone, there are doggy daycares where Fido can frolic and play all day long.
Still want more reasons why we’re the best city for dogs? If your best friend wants a little pampering or a night on the town, we’ve got mobile grooming stations, unique and independently owned pet supply stores (Treat Play Love!), local coffee shops that offer puppuccinos (Bully Brew Coffee Shop!), and downtown breweries (Half Brothers Brewing!) with pet-friendly patios.
We know keeping your pets healthy and cared for needs to be top priority, and we’ve got some great veterinarians who can help with both annual check-ups and emergency care alike. And if you have to leave town, don’t worry! Your furry friend will have a ball (or catch one!) at one of our region’s pet boarding places.

WORKING TOGETHER TO SHARE WHY GRAND FORKS IS WAY COOLER THAN YOU THINK
I love the people and the culture of the people in Grand Forks. I run into people who move here for a purpose and then end up staying.
It’s the people that make Grand Forks a great place to live, learn, work, play, and stay. You go to the Farmer’s Market and you spend 20 minutes shopping and 2 hours visiting.
For a place where the temperature is consistently below freezing, Grand Forks is one of the warmest communities you will ever find.
What we see in recruiting is that people are very surprised with Grand Forks. It’s a real welcoming community. Whether they’re checking into their hotel or at a restaurant or store, people are welcoming them into the community.
What’s Cooler Today?
Brief articles written by members of the Greater Grand Forks community, talking about what living is like for them in one of the coolest cities in the US!
