• “Hi there, I'm Doc! I am a 2yr old Catahoula Leopard Hound. Everyone who meets me calls me the wild child, but I'm also everyone's favorite too..... no big deal. I have a LOT of energy and love a task. Any and all food is my absolute favorite and I will do anything for it! My favorite things to do are SWIM, run, and snuggle. I'm known to be loud and rambunctious, but it's because I have so much to give to the world and love living life to the fullest!“

  — Karla A.

• “Very happy friendly girl. Loves dogs, loves people, loves everything. Very well socialised, pretty unflappable, extremely tolerant and even tempered. Listens to other dogs when they say no. She’s good with puppies, she’ll stay in a down and let them sniff her till they are feeling confident. Fully vaccinated, will upload stuff later today. Also have another dog called Chips, who’s younger and not quite as well trained but still a very good girl.“

  — Sam S.

  — Samantha B.

• “Doc is approximately 5 years old (rescued). He had a very hard past, but now that he has been with me for 4.5 years, he has become a very good companion. He is food and toy driven, and he loves to play fetch with Chuck-It balls. He loves to romp around our backyard and with the other two dogs, hiking, swimming, and exploring; however, he is just as content to curl up and take a nap inside. Doc loves SniffSpots!“

  — Tori S.

• “Doc's a great dane pit bull mix. He is a bit large but he's a gentle giant. He has a bit of an issue with mounting other dogs, but we are working on getting him neutered in hopes that it will no longer be a problem. Doc can get quite loud as he loves to bark and talk and he is a bit if a jumper but he's a super sweet boy once he gets used to you.“

  — Abigail G.

• “Rhodesian Ridgeback. Big Baby. Loves to chase varmints. Does not want a stranger to touch him unless food is involved.“

  — Cindy H.

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.
