• “Sheila passed away July 2021. I can’t get myself to remove her yet. She had just turned 9, she was a siberian husky, I love everything and everyone, my mom calls me her little flower sniffer. I only have 3 legs, I lost my back left leg a week after I turned 1. Mom and dad rescued me from people who were going to take me to the pound about 6 yr ago.“

• “Hi, I'm Sheila! I'm a 3 year old TX heeler & bully breed mix who just got adopted after a hard life on the streets. I have a nice yard at home but I'm such an adventurer that sometimes I get bored smelling the same things there; so my pawrents like to find me new, exciting places to explore! I love meeting new people and dogs, although sometimes I get nervous when people and dogs try to pet or smell my ears since I'm hard of hearing. But overall I'm happy to make new friends everywhere I go 😊 I hope my pawrents let me explore your spot next!“

  — Rebecca M.

• “I'm Sheila! I am from Colorado and love to travel with my mom. I'm a herding mutt and have the intelligence and energy to prove it! I love fetch, food, and my puzzle toys. I love swimming in lakes and rivers but pools are new to me.“

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.

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.
