Watauga Humane Society Fenced Space - Play for a Good Cause!
Not every dog loves the dog park — and that’s okay! If Arko Dog Park isn’t the right fit, try a private play session in the WHS Sniffspot area. Nestled near our trails, this wide-open space is perfect for dogs who prefer room to run, sniff, and explore on their own. With gratitude to Mountain Fence and Deck for enclosing the space, this area was once the yard for our Diamond Dog program, where dogs practiced their manners while living in a home-like setting on campus. Even better, your dog’s play helps support the lifesaving mission of Watauga Humane Society.

Cairn Farm Dog Park In Purlear
Fun little off the beaten path place to run amok. There are tons of little trails off the main logging road that goes around the property. Bring your person with you if you can. If you aren’t all that good at recall, there’s a fun pasture you can chase your friends in. Lots of space to get all that energy out. Just leave your attitude in the car. We just like to have fun here. Thanks. Gary.
