Charlotte's Run - 6 Fenced Acres!

Enjoy time at Charlotte's Run, affectionately called the (Foster) Puppy Farm, where many of the dogs rescued by our 501(c)3 animal welfare nonprofit, Mr. Bones & Co., rehabilitate and decompress before finding forever homes. Booking this Sniffspot helps us save lives and continue our rescue work. Enjoy the wooded trails, gentle rolling fields, swimmable pond and Catskill Mountain views. We encourage and welcome reactive dogs who need the place to themselves, and their humans who love them. Our farm is a safe place for everybody, and every dog. To learn more about our organization, see @MrBonesandCo on Instagram. The greenhouse is off-limits to our guests, so please do not enter it. Thank you in advance for respecting this rule!

Kurt's 13 Acre Fully Fenced Private Dog Park In Warwick

This is a working Christmas Tree Farm with 13 acres fenced in to exclude deer. The fencing also works well to contain Hudson, our 10 year old Black Lab. As a working farm, we will block off days and weeks that would interfere with use of the space as a dog park....most notably September-Christmas weekends where we will have visitors getting family photos, choosing and cutting Christmas trees and enjoying a ride through the trees on the way to Santa's cabin in the woods. Other times include spring planting time and other field activities including irrigation, mowing and weed control. Our Hudson has so enjoyed this special environment, and we are hoping to share it with others when it is practical.
