I didn’t have the best family when I was a baby but my mom saved me and now she spoils me with all the love & butt scratches I ask for! I get scared easily of strangers and want to protect my mom at all costs, so sometimes I can get mean. Sniffspot allows my mom and I to get my zoomies out in a safe, off-leash environment and we are both so happy about that!“
