Hi! Welcome!

Hi! I’m Carla, and I’m happy to welcome you to DogFriendlySWFL.com, a new resource for all things dog in beautiful Southwest Florida.

I’m not just your typical dog enthusiast; I’m a longtime dog mom currently devoted to two rescue rat terriers. They are rascals with giant personalities, but their wagging tails and endless love have inspired me to create this platform.

Our mission is to make life in Southwest Florida even more enjoyable for both residents and visitors with dog companions. Whether you’re a local, a snowbird, or someone considering a move to this paradise, the goal is to provide you with the information and tips you need to make the most of your time here with your dogs.

We believe that dogs bring happiness, laughter, and endless joy into our lives. And we want to share that happiness with you! Thanks for stopping by, and say hi to your dogs for me!
