• “Dusty, a lovable Flat-Coated Retriever, epitomizes sweetness and gentleness. Known for their friendly and affectionate nature, Dusty never misses a chance to greet everyone with a wagging tail and a joyful demeanor. One of Dusty’s most heartwarming moments was when he instinctively comforted a nervous child at the park, sitting quietly beside them until they felt at ease. Flat-coated retrievers like Dusty thrive on spreading love and happiness, making them excellent companions and true friends.“

  — Angela A.

• “Je suis un corgi d'environ 11 ans (Rescue!) et ce que j'aime le plus est de jouer à la balle, me promener en forêt et me baigner! Je suis sélectif avec les amis chiens mais je tolére bien ceux de petites/moyennes races.“

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