• “Loves humans. Tolerate other dogs. Loves herding sheep and then sleeping inside. Also loves chasing toys!“

  — Stella S.

• “My name is Gwen. I love sunbathing in the mornings, playing with my toys and being chased. I like my walks but not so much when it’s raining.“

  — Maritza Q.

• “I’m an energetic puppy that loves people more than I should. I trust everyone and I just wanna be cuddled and hugs. I love to eat and play with my big brother.“

  — Juan C.

• “I love people, but other dogs can stress me out which causes me to react in negative ways.“

  — Heather M.

• “Gwen is a foster pup who a purebred American Pitbull Terrier. She is covered in the cutest little spots. She is in the middle of socialization/reactivity training and is doing extremely well. I am using Sniffspot to get her used to going to new places with new smells, people, etc.“

  — Margaret C.

• “I'm the diva of the pack (all the stuffed animals are mine). I'm in charge of wearing out the foster puppies and teaching them how to play! I came from a rough background, so I understand what they're going through and still get overwhelmed and anxious sometimes. My favorite things are staying inside while it's raining and never getting out of bed!“

  — Morgan H.

• “Gwen is our beautiful rescue. We're not sure of the life she had before us, but she is very reactive. All bark no bite. She is full of energy. And extremely loving to those she trusts. And loves to chase rabbits and squirrels.“

  — Brenda B.

• “Gwen is a 2 year old ACD mix rescued from a shelter in AZ. She is new to our family and her personality is shining through day by day. She was listed as a stray and if that’s true she is the most well behaved trained stray we’ve ever met!“

  — Maria B.

• “Gwen is an energetic, happy ~2 year old pit/lab mix that just needs a bit more training to calm down some of her anxieties and reactivity. Bringing her to an open space where she can be a dog and do her thing for a bit is a great way for her to destress and burn some energy.“

  — Paul R.

• “I am a 2 year old pup, still getting used to the world. New people and situations are sometimes scary, but I love my people and Comet. I LOVE to play and torment my brother by biting his heels. He might be twice my size, but I'm scrappy!“

  — Macy K.

• “Calm and lovable! A little shy around other dogs as we havent started socializing yet“

  — Madison S.

• “I love to run! If I have enough space I'm pretty fast! I also love to sniff everything. If it's warm out I like to splash in water - the muddier, the better! I enjoy chasing toys, but don't always feel like bringing them back, I usually get distracted by some new smells. I also like to play with other dog and people friends when given the opportunity.“

  — Jessica E.

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.
