55An absolutely wonderful spot! Highly recommend! The spot has lots of open space and is sloped (tired my pups out very quickly). It was super clean, lots of toys, clean water, and seating. Natalie is so kind and responsive. Definitely our new favorite spot!
55Another perfect doggie playtime for my pups! They love it here (and I've decided my next house needs to have a hill in the backyard - her ball rolling down the hill kept her busy! LOL). It was cold and windy, but the sun was out and the ground was dry.
55Clean, open, and everything my pups could want in a backyard! Comfortable seating for the humans, and an interesting view from high on the hill. Really, my pups loved every minute of their time today. I loved seeing Baby lay on the rise, enjoying the sun and slight breeze after spending 45 minutes walking and sniffing everywhere. Rascal loved all the toys so much, this was the first time he left his own toy alone at a sniff spot. He didn't even notice when I put it away. Fence was great and the train moved by in the far distance (not super noisy but allowed my girl to be curious without getting reactive to the "new thing").
55Great space. Fencing was nice and secure. Appreciated the poop bags, water bowl, and toys. Can’t wait to visit again:)
55Natalie was so friendly and accommodating, even when we had to change days due to the weather. She greeted us and made sure we had everything we needed. Thanks so much!
55Nice big yard with lots of toys and places to sniff!
45So much space! Our pup loved running around and sniffing all of the toys left out. It was super easy to find, and the fence was tall and didn’t have any gaps.
55We’ve had the best time here, as always. Ginny loves to run around this huge yard, and there are so many toys to play with, and Natalie is just the most delightful host with lots of treats and love to give. 
55Great yard, well stocked, and the kindest host!
55My dog had a great time running around and sniffing everything!

Description

It’s spring already so we’re back to treating the yard with all natural, pesticide-free, pet and human safe WONDERCIDE flea/tick/mosquito protection! We will continue to apply this into the Fall. Additionally, thanks to some great guest feedback, we just added 2 new chairs for seating along the left side of the fence (in the shade). Feel free to move any of the 3 chairs wherever you’d like! Newly fenced yard (done in October 2020) - safe and secure! ALL the dogs say it’s the BEST, and they don’t want to leave. Legitimately. Our girl Luna won’t come in sometimes, and daycare and boarding dogs don’t like leaving. It’s pretty amazing. We are so happy to be able to offer and share our backyard with other dogs!!

Extras

Calling all water fans!$5

Looking for a way to help cool your pup off as the temperatures go up and humidity kicks in? How about taking a dip in our puppy pool? Sturdy plastic and approximately 4’ round. Cleaned and sanitized between uses!

Splash pad!$5

Does your pup love the hose but maybe not the idea of a pool? Then the splash pad may be perfect! You can set the spray height to your dog’s comfort, and slowly introduce them. Perfect for our yucky summer....

Hi everyone! We have a house with a huge backyard - one of the main reasons we purchased! Our dogs like to brag about having their own dog park. Can’t say I blame them. We’re really excited to share our park-yard with others, and having moved from a condo we know how hard it is to find a big, SAFE space to take your dog! As a rule were not dog park people and we know there are lots of other folks out there who aren’t either. We offer a sanctuary with toys, smells, and a brand new 6’ fence. Come and explore!!! Your pup will thank you.

FurBaby Freedom Park - 100% donation to rescue groups

Patio Heater now available for the winter months! And our playground chips received a fresh covering for the 2024 season installed in Feb! All earnings will be donated to a couple of smaller rescue groups, including Pets With Disabilities - http://petswithdisabilities.org; Lizzy's Lodge Rescue - https://www.lizzyslodgerescue.org/ and more recently added Miri's Legacy, Angel's Among Us Pet Rescue, Big Dog Ranch Rescue, Lost Ball Canine Rescue, HART and Lost Dog & Cat Rescue Foundation - each month. Any funds left over go to pledges for harder to adopt out pups on death row in overcrowded kill shelters, so rescue groups can pull them out. We have a very private fenced in yard, we would like to offer up to any other pups who might enjoy some freedom! Lots of availability for weekdays too. We have a natural wooded yard that borders a county park on one side, with a 6ft wooden fence all the way around the property, and a side entry gate. The ground cover is the soft playground wood chips, specifically designed to be comfortable for all kinds of furbabies! Endless amounts of smells and sniffing opportunities from all the local wildlife that frequent our yard. Good space for long runs, frisbee, tennis ball, soccer ball action for the energetic pups, and plenty of space for meandering, or just lounging around in the sun spots for the more mature pups. The yard has sunny areas and plenty of natural shade from the trees. You can also enjoy a deck with a patio table, cushioned chairs and lawn chair seating, poop bags, extra dog water bowls, outdoor spigot with hose for water bowl refills, or hose play and elevated feeders for the pups who cannot bend down very well to drink. The public park next to us has several wooded trails, so if your pup has any energy left, it is a nice park to walk. Quiet spread out and very dog friendly neighborhood. Easy parking on the street outside the house, side entry gate but please make sure you click the gate shut when you leave though!
