We own an older hobby farm. We kindly ask that guests and their pets do NOT enter the pole barns, or any older structure ( ex. the old barn) for safety reasons. We would like to will you on the first visit to show you all the nice areas we have available for your pet(s) and you. When you reserve with us, our property is private use for just you and your pets! This reduces stress, safety issues, and ensures your pet has the most enjoyable and nurturing time possible. In the back field (28 acre farm/field/ pasture with running creek), the creek becomes inaccessible due to a cliff. Please do not let your dog jump off the cliff into the creek. This is why it is so important that I am able to meet you on the first visit so you can learn the property like we have. There is a nice “blue hole” area that is accessible when you first come to our property that is close to where you will park :). All poultry will be locked up in their coop before you arrive and during the duration of your visit (bright blue chicken coop). We please ask that there will be absolutely no drinking or criminal and/or destructive behavior tolerated as this farm is the home of children and some poultry that are locked in their coop. Please come to respect the beauty of nature and good quality time with your pet. Thank you! Please remember these SNIFF SPOT rules: Dogs must be leashed when entering and exiting the spot. Always keep the leash within easy reach when visiting, in case it is needed. Make sure the area is safe and secure before bringing your dog in (NEVER enter a property where there are dogs, other domestic animals or people present). Never enter a spot early and never leave late. Pick up after your dogs. Leave the spot as it was when you arrived. Always review and abide by spot specific rules. Unless otherwise specified, there are no restrooms on site

Summer, and her family, reside in the beautiful Appalachian Shenandoah Valley. The property is nestled and surrounded by mountains on all sides. Summer holds a teaching license for the State of Virginia and works currently for pharmaceutical manufacturing. Summer’s husband, Andrew, also works in pharmaceutical manufacturing. In their free time, they enjoy owning a hobby farm and raising their family on the Appalachian, Christian values they grew up with right here in the Shenandoah Valley. Recently, Summer’s sister has taken major strides in becoming a dog rescuer in states up and down the East Coast. While watching her sister do this endless and tireless work, she realized that most family’s surrender their pets because of lack of space for them to enjoy nature, release energy, and bond outside. Many behavior issues stem from not providing the appropriate space for exercise and stress relief or, even lack of bonding with owners. It is the Couch Family’s hopes to be able to provide a spot so Fido does not have to be separated from his or her loved ones and can live a fulfilling and happy life. Please give us a try and ask about resources on how acclimating your pet at home. We are here to help. With all our fury love 🐾 The Couch’s!
