Puppies for Sale near Venice, FL

Searching for puppies for sale near Venice FL can turn up a lot of online ads with no real store behind them. Waggles Puppy Boutique is different. We are a real puppy store on Tamiami Trail in Port Charlotte, and Venice families have been making the drive south to meet our puppies in person.

Why Venice Families Drive Down to Waggles

Venice is our fourth busiest city. Many of those buyers tell us the same thing: they wanted to hold the puppy before taking it home. In our store you can do exactly that. You can meet several puppies, ask every question on your list and look over the health records yourself.

A licensed vet examines every puppy before it goes home. Also, each one is up to date on age appropriate vaccinations and comes with a lifetime microchip.

How to Get From Venice to Our Port Charlotte Store

Plan on roughly 40 minutes from the Island of Venice.

• Tamiami Trail route: Take US 41 south out of Venice through South Venice and into North Port. Continue on US 41 through Murdock and past the Port Charlotte Town Center. We are on the trail near Tarpon Boulevard.
• Interstate route: Get on Interstate 75 south at Jacaranda Boulevard, which is exit 193. Take exit 170 for Kings Highway, then follow Kings Highway southwest to Tamiami Trail.

During season, the interstate is usually faster, because US 41 gets busy with winter visitors. Either way, the drive gives you plenty of time to argue about names.

Dog Friendly Venice Landmarks for Later

Venice is one of the most dog friendly towns on the Gulf Coast. Brohard Paw Park is a dedicated dog beach just south of the Venice Fishing Pier, and it is a must once your puppy finishes its vaccines. Caspersen Beach is famous for fossilized shark teeth, while the Legacy Trail is perfect for long leash walks.

Downtown Venice Avenue is also a pleasant place to stroll with a well behaved dog. Before you head out, check park hours and rules on the City of Venice website.

Puppies for Sale near Venice FL: What Locals Pick

Venice buyers have a soft spot for small breeds with big personalities. Dachshunds, Yorkie Poos and Golden Retrievers are tied for the top spot in our recent Venice sales. After those, we see Yorkies, Pugs, Westies, Bichons, Beagles and Teddy Bears heading north.

That mix makes sense for Venice. Many families want a dog that is easy to travel with, yet still happy on a long beach walk. Explore every breed in our breed guide before your trip.

What You Get With Every Puppy
