About dogs named Dillon

The following are 6 profiles of dogs named Dillon from our database of 22 dogs with the name Dillon.

• “Hello, my name is Dillon! I can get pretty nervous with new people and lash out but with a little space and some time to learn you won’t hurt me or mom, I can be a big cuddle bug. My favorite things are cuddling on the couch with mom for a nap and having garage time with dad, watching the world pass by while he works on his next project. And eating! I love my snacks!“

  — Rebecca E.

• “I am nervous and reactive to new dogs and people, but I love to run SO FAST and catch balls“

  — Libby P.

• “Hi! I’m Dillon, a big (75lb), black, goofy guy who loves just about everyone! I do bark at strangers until im sure they’re ok, but I’m not aggressive at all. I love to sniff everything and have lots of dog pals in my neighborhood. I look like a big Lab mix, but mom did my DNA and found out I am just a mix of four other breeds—none a black lab! I love to run and once, I went swimming at Fiesta Island, and loved it. Sure hope mom brings me to a SniffSpot that has water someday.“

  — Linda O.

• “I was a stray left in a shelter at 6 months old. My mom adopted me but I’m still very very scared 5 years later and don’t like other people or most other dogs. Sniffspot should help me get my energy out!“

  — Paula S.

• “I was born in a shelter in Texas, and I lived there until I was rescued and brought to Seattle when I was 11 months old. I’m a friendly happy guy, and like playing with other dogs casually - but really love playing with my people the most!! Because of my time in the shelter, I can be a little nervous around new, human men until I get familiar with them (I’m wary of touching until I’m comfortable, but never aggressive!) My favorite activity is playing fetch with my ball and exploring new places with my parents! I don’t like being where I can’t see them, so I’m great off leash or in unfenced areas because I don’t stray very far away! Thank you for sharing your spaces with me :)“

  — Monisha R.

• “I love a great outdoor space to explore, I get the zoomies and my humans prefer not to be holding the leash when I do! Mom says I'm a special needs pup because I had trauma as a puppy and ended up in vet care, now I'm afraid of stranger dogs and 'get all worked up' and 'act a fool' and such... mostly I just spin the leash, circle mom, jump, cry, and bark . I'm getting better but it's best if I can just play outside to my hearts content - oh and mom's heart's content too 🐶😁“

About the author

David Adams is a man of many passions, but his love for dogs stands above all. He is not only a dog lover, but also the founder of an innovative platform called Sniffspot. This unique platform connects dog owners with private property owners who are willing to rent out their space for off-leash playtime. While the idea of Sniffspot was initially conceived by his wife, Rebecca, David has been the driving force behind its remarkable success, tirelessly overseeing its growth and development. David's dedication to providing safe and enjoyable spaces for dogs to play, explore, and socialize is evident in his unwavering commitment to Sniffspot. He strongly believes that dogs need ample space and opportunities to stretch their legs and have fun. As a result, he has worked tirelessly to build a network of private property owners across the country who share his vision and are willing to offer their space for the benefit of dogs and their owners. 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. Whenever he is not working on Sniffspot, he can often be found hiking or visiting multi-acre fenced sniffspots with his two beloved dogs, Soba and Toshii. He is an avid outdoorsman who enjoys the fresh air, breathtaking scenery, and the sense of freedom that comes with being in nature. David is based in Salem, MA.
