• “Hi, I am new to the family. I was found wandering the streets in March 2024 with a broken leg. A persona was nice enough to take me to a vet so I could get it fixed. I was then transferred to the scary shelter but was only there shortly when they found me a nice foster family to get better at. Unfortunately I played a little rough with the tiny human so I went back the shelter. Luckily I was only there a couple of days when I got adopted. Now I am living the life with a warm home and yummy meals and best of all I get to annoy my older sister all day long.“

  — Krissy E.

• “I only sometimes enjoy walks because other dogs might be there. Running off leash is the best feeling, especially in a comfortable place where I can let my guard down.“

  — Jenny S.

• “I am a very very playful lab! I have a big brother named Lincoln. And even though I am the little brother- I believe I am in charge. I love doing everything. I love playing with toys and tearing them apart, I love charing balls and playing soccer. My favorite activity is running- far and fast :-) I love all sorts of water- a bathtub (love taking a bath when my dad does) I love a pool, a hose, and running through a creek.“

  — Lorna R.

• “I’m a big dog but I’m a timid dog! I love to explore but need to go at my own pace. I bark at new people or shy away but still have the need to sniff just to make sure. Overall I’m a very happy and excited dog.“

  — Belina V.

David's dedication to providing safe and enjoyable spaces for dogs to play, explore, and socialize is evident in his unwavering commitment to Sniffspot.

Despite his busy schedule, David always finds time to indulge in his passion for the great outdoors. He loves nothing more than exploring new hiking trails and embarking on thrilling outdoor adventures.
