While the porch and rocking chairs provide comfy shelter out of the rain, and are always available to our guests, add Extra Heat to your booking and we'll bring out a shmancy stand up heat lamp to help nip the chill a bit.
We Shire folk collect our drinking water from local mountain spring spigots - by the jug fulls - and are happy to share it with you :) Add Extra Spring Water to your booking for two tall glasses of this yummy living water AND the treasure map by which to collect it for yourselves :)
From doggy birthdays and gotcha days to Spring Flings and Summer Picnics, this Extra makes an extra special event for whatever reason you and your pups feel like celebrating. Message us for details, timing & fun puppy party perks. Yay!
I honor my guests' privacy and am also available via chat if needed.

This is one of the best Sniff spots around hands-down the owner Amanda of the Shire is willing to help out with my busy schedule. There are times when I have to switch sometimes and she accommodates or if I need to come later, she’ll accommodate I really appreciate her letting us use her beautiful property. We were just there today. My dog absolutely loves it, thank you again for sharing your beautiful home and property and your kindness and friendship is just so rewarding and I hope your Shire has the best success
Host replied: Haha Thanks to you, Annabelle has been visiting since my opening day and I love her SO much. You are all soooo awesome! Plus... membership has its privileges! 😍 Xoxoxo!
Ever since Kimchi was a puppy, we took him here! He loves it here! So much space and so much fun! He will come back as much as he can! Thank you!
Host replied: It's been such a gift watching Kimchi grow up! She is the most precious puppy!!
We felt so welcome here at the Shire. Our names were written on a sign and the property feels very secure and is easy to find. The Shire is a great sunny spot! We appreciated the toys, water, different cozy seating areas, both sunny and covered, and all the amenities. Such a gorgeous country cottage feel to it with only a short drive from home. We had plenty of room to run, play frisbee without worrying it would go over the fence, and Reggie chased a squirrel up a tree.
Host replied: You are welcome back anytime. I thoroughly enjoyed watching Reggie romp around the whole of the yard! Thank you so much for visiting. See you soon!
We have been here a few times over the last year or two and it’s always a great time. Really clean, open, and has lots of different areas for your dog to sniff and explore.
Host replied: I. Love. Chico.
Great little spot! Enough room to get the zoomies out and throw a ball. We’ve been here a couple times and will check it out again.
Host replied: Milo and Winnie are super adorable and I love having them visit! 💕
Beautiful spot!
Always a wonderful time here. Lots of room for my dog to run and play, plenty of toys, cozy places to sit. Feels like being farther out of the city than it is, in a nice way. My dog loves it here so much, she starts getting excited half a mile before we arrive!
Great spot! We will be back. Plenty of room for playing fetch and also lots of area for my older dog to walk around and explore. Clean, welcoming, and easy to find. So grateful to the owners for being involved with Sniffspot.
We had the most amazing time! Perfect amount of space for the 5 pups we brought over. Host was extremely kind and accommodating!
Easy parking, lots of amenities, and my dogs had a great time!

Welcome to my whimsical and woodsy play place in the city. The Shire is a large, happy go lucky yard that reflects seasonal changes with its varying colors and foliage.🌼🪻 Always spacious enough for fetching and endless zumiez, it also offers hide-aways, bushes and trees for the adventurous, sniffy pups to explore. Dogs in-training will enjoy the safety of full fencing as they learn how to both play independently and respond to our typical surroundings of occasional winged🦜, wheeled🛞 and pawfoot🐾 traffic. This 2yr old sniff spot is also a spot in-training with growth and improvements being worked on every season. I welcome feedback to help make every visit a most FUN-furred experience for all our dogs and their fun-loving families!
