55This Sniffspot is wonderful!! I have a big farm dog and we just moved here, going from 100 acre vineyard to 1 acre channel side :/ this property was perfect to get him to run around!
55Good morning sunshine ☀️ We had a great run today!
55Pups liove this spot and so do I! Plenty of trees to provide shade and wildlife to chase. 🦅🐿️ pups are always ready for a long nap after visiting . Thank you for being a great host!
55We have been here many times over the past year and always have a good experience! With all the recent rain there were large puddles, which amplified the fun for my very busy adolescent.
55OMG what a blast playing in the water.
55Oh what fun today! The boys needed to play! The grass was nice and short and wet with morning sun ☀️
55Love it here! Best sniff spot around Punta gorda!
55Augie enjoyed playing on his 2nd birthday 🎂 with his best friend Luca. After more than 4 inches of rain the field was great, no puddles, just nice lush green grass. ! 
55It was beautiful today and the dogs loved to lay in the wet morning grass
55Another beautiful morning to play with my best friend 🐩

(New? Our spot is on pause until 8/21) We are a local family and love animals! The Painted Porch -Pooch Park- is just minutes from downtown Punta Gorda. We live on 5 acres with a barn and chicken coop. We raised and said goodbye to our 4 kids, a horse and 2 goats and now want to share our gorgeous land with your sweet pooches. We have 2 dogs, one of which had a very hard time at dog parks and leashes, this property was the answer and he's so happy! We understand the amazing benefits of a Private place to run your dogs, you can relax in hammocks under heritage oaks, sky-high slash pines while you play with your dog(s) in a safe natural space. You may see eagles, hawks, rabbits, squirrels and many bird species. Fun Fully Fenced 1.5 acres. My hubby Chris and I are Army Veterans, grandparents to 3 boys, love Pickleball, travel, art, beaches and mountain visits. (Dogs smaller than 15lbs are welcome, just walk the perimeter with leash to get familiar with the large layout and fencing type. FL red ants are like mosquitos, we treat as quickly as we can, rain will draw them out so please keep feet moving, dogs don't seem bothered)
