Hi! I’m an animal and nature lover excited to share our 40 acre paradise with others wanting to experience nature with their pets in a safe environment free of larger wildlife. I currently have 4 rescue horses, 3 rescue cats, and our black shepherd cross Ozzie who is lucky enough to walk off leash on the property 3 times a day.

Welcome to Paws Oasis! During the day Paws is a pet grooming facility and dog daycare located on a 2 acre lot just outside Perth on Hwy 7. We've always wanted to open our outdoor play area to the public so we thought we'd give Sniffspot a try! We have 3 large gated play areas with various fun obstacles and pools that dogs will love. We also have lots of seating and nice gazebos for you to sit and enjoy your time with the pup. Also, if you get hungry there is a food truck on the property - try the fries! FYI - please book at least a day ahead if you plan on coming over the weekend :)

River lovers spot!

Unfenced
0.25 acres

RIVER LOVERS’ SPOT IS CLOSED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE…. We are overrun with Canada Geese. The nesting pair were welcome but the number that have moved in since are overwhelming. Their waste has made the site unpleasant. There are 50-80 in residence currently. The adolescents are 75%. Attempts to thwart them have not been as successful as summers past. I will change the calendar (and pics) as the move on. Summer is short!! UPDATE: We are awaiting approval by Dept. Environmental Conservation for ground changes. I’M ANXIOUS AND WILL POST WORD SOON…please be patient 🙁. Follow up 8/10/2022 With summer slipping away and things not changing on our waterfront, I’ve decided to open the calendar and see what happens. Things don’t always go as planned. The water is low. The shore is rocky (but not far in). The natural shore is pretty mucky. And there’s an old dock that needs to be pulled. Mostly cosmetic and negotiable with the keepers of the wetlands. DOGS DON’T CARE. Take a peek and see if it would suit your pup. We’ll be here next year but once it freezes it’s a “no dog” zone. 🐾 Dogs, bring your people and swim, run, or just watch the ships on the St. Lawrence. No fence but there’s more riverfront than road front. Our spot is small, quiet and your only distractions will be shore birds, waterfowl and fish. The shore is low rocks so good footing preferred. The water is shallow. The vistas are perfect. All dogs should have a river spot to share.
