• “Karl is a loving, goofy, English mastiff/pit mix! He loves the zoomies and any type of lovins he can get!“

  — Abigail L.

• “Jack Russel Terrier. VERY nosy. Very sweet. He gets a little overexcited around other dogs & goes insane when he sees squirrels. Sniffspot is a great way for him to get some energy out in a secure environment.“

  — Karena Y.

• “Hello I’m Karl but I have a lot of nicknames. Mom and step dada call me Tarn, Nader, Nation, Tarnation, Karlito, Lito, Lonny, Lon Bon, Charn, Grandpa, and many more. I don’t care what they call me as long as I get treats. Anyways, Im 16 years young, pansexual, and have been referred to on more than one occasion as “The Supreme Ween- The One Ween To Rule Them All”. Please allow me to pee on your establishment and leave my mark. 😌“

  — Brandy R.

• “Hi, I'm Karl. I enjoy meals, all of them, long walks, anywhere, and good conversation, as long as it's about me. I'm still a little unsure about water as I'm not very well designed for swimming, but I get a little more brave each time I have the chance. I'm not a vegetarian, but I don't digest most meats very well and mushrooms are one of my favorite snacks!“

  — Justin M.

• “I’m Danni’s task and public access trained service dog! I may be medical equipment, but I am still the doggiest dog ever.“

  — Danni S.

• “I am a black lab mix, 62 pounds, who loves to chase balls, sticks, frisbees. I love peanut butter and belly rubs. I am an excellent swimmer, and am very fast at zoomies. I am well trained.“

  — Denise K.

• “Karl is a rescue pup with a whole lot of love and a whole lot of triggers. He doesn’t play well with other dogs (yet!) but he loves people he knows and can chase a ball for hours. We’re proud of how far he’s come since we adopted him and looking forward to seeing how far he can go on those little chunky legs.“

  — Hannah M.

• “I love to RUN, chase things im not supposed too, RUN, explore any and all things, RUN, and generally ignore my mom. We are practicing my offleash manners and behaviors, but apparently have a very long ways to go. I could, and often do run all day long and looooooove to follow my nose. Even though it gets me into big trouble more often than not...“

  — Kara H.

• “I’m Karl. I love my mom and my gran and my grandpaw. I love to sniff and explore and sometimes I’ll even do a frolic. I’m an old man so a lot of times, I just like to lay in the sun, though.“

  — Pamela M.

• “Hi, I am 1.5 yrs old, I’m very extroverted and usually friendly. I like most humans but don’t have a lot of experience with kids. I have all my shots, including Bordetella and my humans give me flea and tick medication. I need to run and play off leash and I love the water too. My favourite place is the dog park.“

  — Laura W.

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. He is an avid outdoorsman who enjoys the fresh air, breathtaking scenery, and the sense of freedom that comes with being in nature. David is based in Salem, MA.
