Location

Description

10 acres of natural woods and grassy areas with a year round creek for summer fun. This is a working animal rescue, but all animals are secure and there is plenty of area to explore. During the winter and off season trails are pretty rustic but still allow lots of area for dogs to run and explore.

Cleanliness

100% of guests said this spot was as clean as expected during their visit.

Hazards

In the winter time the creek can be quite rapid and although we are not completely fenced we do have enough fencing to keep animals primarily safe on the property. Also this is a rural location so wildlife may be present.

    This would have been our first visit. We arrived at the locked gate, and no one to let us in. After over 20 minutes we decided to leave. Had to back out of narrow dirt road with steep drop off and over the railroad tracks with an Amtrak coming just a minute after we got across. Very dangerous. I was fortunate that my husband was with me to stand outside the car and guide me as I backed out. Very disappointed. We looked forward to going all day only to arrive and have a bad experience.

    Thank you for opening this spot up. We loved the trail into the woods. And so much off trail exploring. My four dogs and kiddos really enjoyed it. We even found the river and the dogs went for a little swim. There are railroad tracks but pretty easy to keep the dogs on the wide trail and off to the other side where all the woods are (you may want a long line for some sections). Very brushy and wooded, perfect for the dogs to explore. And a nice large open area at the beginning. The host was amazing and nice, and thoughtful. She met us at the start and showed where to park and walk. Animals were put away.

We are a federally recognized 501c3 local animal rescue with over 5 acres of natural woods and farm fields to roam and explore. There is a creek available in the summer months for dogs that enjoy water sports and a trail that leads to a beaver dam. Rural and rustic, this place is well suited for dogs with good recall.We are a working rescue and still organizing our sniff spot, so we appreciate your patience during our construction stages.

Kota’s Place - huge yard, great for agile dogs!

***New added information at the bottom*** Yard rental for dogs (and people!) to exercise, play, and sniff to their hearts content! Yard can also be rented by dog/animal trainers for a set fee instead of price per dog. Inquire if you’d like more information. Fully fenced backyard. Grass is somewhat long in some of the pictures, but it will be mowed prior to your visit. There is a rock pile for any agile dog that likes to climb. We also have a large galvanized metal troth that can be filled with water if your dog likes to play in water, we would just need at least 3/4 hours advanced notice so we have enough time fill it for you, it is pictured. The covered structure in the middle of the yard has camping chairs next to it and a picnic table you can use. There’s a power strip between two of the cozy chairs on the covered porch, or one by the hot tub. We just ask that you please limit it to no more than 2 devices plugged in. We can provide an electric heater to be used on the porch or by hot tub area if needed, just be sure to add that extra to your booking. There are plenty of scent trails to be followed as we often have small wildlife coming through the yard. Rabbits, squirrels, chipmunks, and plenty of birds that our dog still tries to catch even though she doesn’t stand a chance 😂 It is a fairly private back yard, so it is quite relaxing aside from the occasional loud barking of our neighbor dogs. We have an American bulldog/brittany spaniel mix, but she will be kept inside with us during your visit. You may hear her loud mouth from time to time, she sometimes fusses when other dogs are using her yard and she can’t join them 😀…There is plenty of parking, you can even open the gate and pull your vehicle into the carport area if you would like. We can possibly dog-sit for a fee so long as your dog is kind and comfortable with us. Cost could be discussed. We live at the end of a gravel road so even though it feels very distant, we’re close to the main roads that go through Graham/Puyallup or Orting. Only about 5-7 minutes from the Fred Meyer located on Meridian and 176th in Puyallup. There is a large white wooden gate that is open leading into the property. Pull in and to the right, park in front of the tall garage and access the backyard through the large metal cattle gate between the garage and house. Lift it up and opening outwardly. It may be blocked from opening by a cinder block on the ground, so you can just move that out of the way. We only put it there because our girl is an escape artist and figured out how to hit it with her nose enough times to pop it open. The little turd, she’s a strong one! If you have any further questions, please don’t hesitate to ask! Thanks! We hope you and your pet enjoy your visit! We will be adding a toy bin in the near future, for now you may find a stray ball or two in the yard. Our dog is a heavy chewer, so toys don’t last long around here unfortunately. If you have any specific toy requests, feel free to let us know, we do our best to please person and pups alike! If you would like to book at a different time than what is available, please contact me. I’m pretty flexible so I’m sure we can work something out. Inflatable hot tub is now up and running, so you can add an hour of soak time to your booking if you would like 🙂 We’re going to implement a monthly “yummy thank you” for our 4 and 8 hour per month membership holders, so I encourage our patrons to sign up for a membership! Each 4 and 8 hour membership holder can pick any meal that they’d like me to make for them once per month, and I’ll make enough for 2 servings(can fix larger servings at an additional cost of $3 per person depending on desired meal.) I’m quite the maestro in the kitchen, so I promise you won’t regret it! The 8 hour monthly membership will also include a custom mocktail to go with your meal(We can always spike it with whatever liquor you bring along.) And a special treat for your pup! We can easily accommodate allergies/food aversions. All memberships come with other occasional perks/gifts as well. Thanks so much for your patronage! Have a great day!
