• “Radar is a white Shepards and the youngest with the biggest ears- hence why we call him Radar.“

  — Ashley H.

• “My new life started once I was found on a mountain in Hawaii after spending weeks alone. I was starving and unable to walk, but my new family carried me down the mountain in a sling and nursed me back to health! Now I’m living the good life but I still have some difficulties related to my past.“

  — Kelcie T.

• “I’m an 8 pound miniature pincher/Chihuahua mix who loves to meet people and other dogs! My favorite food is carrots.“

  — Maggie E.

• “I am the hap hap happiest golden boy! I might get too excited and jump up on you but my owner can stop my very quickly. I love playing on the farm, sniffing in the barn and finding anything to get messy in.“

  — Gillian R.

• “Radar is a 90lb hound mix with a TON of energy! He loves to run and sniff and explore. He’s not big on fetch, but loves brain and sniff work which we’d like to explore more!“

  — Liz K.

• “NOT FRIENDLY WITH STRANGE DOGS OR PEOPLE, needs a separate area from other dogs. I just want to find him a place that he can explore alone. GSD/ACD/Husky“

  — Rylie A.

• “Radar is a good guy! He generally prefers to play by himself or with one dog that he knows well.“

  — Leigh S.

• “I am an almost 3 year old St. Bernard. I really like to run and play but my yard isn't fenced so I can't run free. Like here Thank you!“

  — Jennifer B.

• “Happy go lucky yellow lab. Friendly and playful with humans. His favorite thing in the world is making new dog friends but he can be too exuberant and intimidating to less excited dogs.“

  — Deleted P.

• “Hi! My name is Radar. I am a good boy who likes to play fetch and swim. I was adopted just over a year ago by my Mum.“

  — Isabelle H.

• “Radar is a 1-year old lab/shepherd mix who has a true zest for life. He loves to play and explore. He is a friendly guy who loves to play with other dogs.“

  — Irene S.

• “Radar is a sweet and playful dog who loves people! He loves playing with toys and going for walks and runs, but he loves a good belly rub or cuddle on the couch just as much. We have noticed he is friendly with most human strangers but is selective about the dogs he sees passing by. We are hoping he will gain some confidence around other dogs and even eventually make some doggie friends! He is respectful of our home and outdoor environments. We hope using Sniffspots will give him the quiet space he needs to work on training and enjoy some untethered playtime!“

  — Julia K.

• “Radar reminds us of Dante from the movie Coco. She has 15 breeds in her and is a local rescue from Blue Ridge. She is goofy, wild, playful and smart....very smart. She loves humans, but finds difficulty making dog friends outside of her pack. She is a very fast runner and has a long jump that could clear a lake.“

  — Lindsey S.

• “I am funny, loving and will chase squirrels and cats! I love the outdoors with my human!“

  — Rosea P.

• “80lbs, 4-5 years old, adopted from the County in 2024. Super sweet, a big goofball. TONS of energy, so always looking for somewhere he can let loose and run or swim.“

  — Charles S.

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.
