  — Katie F.

• “Gordon is 8 in December 2022. He is a brown and tan German Shepherd and has been with us since 8 weeks. He is leash trained. He does not react to small dogs. Large dogs are ok if playful. He is our Child. He is fun loving and adores frisbees and balls. He is healthy and Purdy Dr. Scott takes care of him. He is the Love of our Life.“

  — Kathleen & John L.

• “Gordon here. If you’re not willing to wrestle for your toys then you don’t deserve to have them, is what I always say. I’m a mix of giant breeds and somehow only 30 pounds so what if I’m angry. I like cuddles from me mom, they help me sleep. I don’t have separation anxiety, I just don’t think you’re safe, if you’re alone. I got all kinds of time on my hands so it doesn’t matter where you put your shoe, ima find it and ima take it.“

  — Monica A.

• “I had a hard life and was severely abused and left to starve until I was rescued by the Humane Society of Greater Dayton. I don't like all dogs but it's unclear which ones I like until I meet them. I love to run and soak in the sun. I don't know how to play with other dogs besides my sister Linda and I can come across aggressive. I wasn't socialized as a puppy and don't know how to tell other dogs I want to play... I just want a private place my sister and I can chase each other and play fetch.“

  — Nichole N.

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.
