• “Hiya!!! Im Helios. Sun God of Goofy! I am a 3 year old lover, full of pup energy and the youngest of a family of 4 furry siblings. All but one of us are best friends! I adore meeting new friends and love to give high fives through leaps and running at top speed. Mom and Dad say I have no idea of the concept of personal space but.....I dont understand that entire sentence. I am a total ham and am not shy at all. The party can start once I enter the room. I am training to be my dad's service dog and while I good boy, I have some trouble remembering to stay on task.“

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.
