  — Andrea J.

• “I am a big lovable ball of fur. I love going on walks and love being with my humans. I like taking naps and playing with my twin fur brother. I like to bark at people walking by and other animals we see on our walks, especially bunnies! But my mom says my bark is bigger than my bite. My yard isn't quite as big as I wish it was and even though Mom and brother Alex take us for walks everyday, I would love to run in a big open space. I dont know if I can swim but I might be willing to try with Mom and Dad's help. I do get excited to meet new people and I may come off as overly excited but I promise once you let me smell you I will calm down and we can be friends forever ❤️“

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.
