• “Hi, my name is Dot. I love to sun bathe during the day and love to eat all the little snacks you drop on the floor. I also love to cuddle at night!“

  — Carene H.

• “I’m am the luckiest dog in the world! My Mommy takes me everywhere with her, she gives me the best treats and she loves to let me learn new tricks. Our daily walks around town are my absolute FAVORITE thing in the world because I get to see my friends and meet new friends every single day!! The only bad thing about city living is there is no place for me to run free and be a dog because dog parks are scary and smelly. So glad my Mom found SniffSpot so I can be a dog every now and then. I told you she was the best Mommy ever“

  — Dawn W.

• “I’m a spicy and energetic chihuahua, so watch out! I come along to keep the big guys in line.“

  — Stacey R.

• “Hi I'm Dot! I'm quirky girl with the typical Chi energy and attitude. I can be a bit shy but warm up and just want lovies! I can't go anywhere without my sister by my side as we grew up together and are super attached. Our previous Dad (my dad) passed away so I'm getting used to my new lifestyle and lack of a big fenced in yard. :(“

  — Lacey H.

• “Dot is a shy girl- and can be anxious around new dogs. If introduced correctly she has the time of her life.“

  — Gabriel b.

• “Dot is a 3 pound paralyzed Chihuahua who is the most loving and sweet girl. She loves sitting outside and going with us to new places.“

  — Jo D.

• “Mostly a homebody because other dogs freak me out and I get reactive. Very sweet and loving towards people once I warm up to them. I've got a small quirky tail ibwas born with. While I'm very good motivated and solar charged, I'll try anything my human does (mostly because I like to be wherever she's at).“

  — Heather L.

• “I’m soooo happy to meet everyone and every dog. I’m a rescue and my dna is mostly Husky, so I could probably run the Iditarod twice with my energy. I have a little sister that I bug to no end even though she’s twice my size, she tolerates me and we have fun.“

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.

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.
