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.

Welcome to our 50 Acres of Private Conservation Forest Farm Enjoy peaceful walks through a rare pristine and actively managed Connecticut forest. Marked trails wind through woods, streams, and vernal pools, offering a peaceful escape. Benches and tables are available for resting and picnicking at the trailhead. This property is ideal for owners seeking a quiet, uncrowded environment away from other dogs. SAFETY NOTICE The property is large but unfenced. Dogs with any history of biting people or posing risk of aggression towards humans must remain leashed at all times while on the property. Please do not park on the street. CONSERVATION EFFORTS Our USDA-approved Forest Management Plan aims to ensure sustainable stewardship of the forest’s health and natural habitats. Trail walkers are vital for achieving sustainability. As a walker, you can help us do so by: Protecting Wildlife: Leashing your dog(s) when out on the trails, especially near the river and through the spring when baby animals are particularly vulnerable (e.g. Eastern cottontail, deer fawn). Documenting Biodiversity. Sharing any pictures you take of the wildlife and interesting plants you come across on your walk. Sniffspotters’ photographic contributions have already been invaluable in helping us map the natural diversity of our forest. Feedback, Flagging & Fighting. Feedback on how to improve the trails, trail markings, etc. is very helpful and we are always grateful to receive it. Similarly, flagging any obstructions, problems or hazards that you noticed when walking helps us act quickly to keep our trails in shape. Finally, some of you have joined us in our fight against invasive plants. If you want to join us, drop us a line and we will provide you with a most-wanted list, some gloves, a hori hori and loppers! Thank you for helping us to share and protect our forest.
