55Beautiful yard, lots of thoughtful extras, and a quiet neighborhood; even the directions were excellent!
55Great yard for my pups! Perfect mix of sun and shade, clean, and secure.
55Amazing spot. It was quiet and well maintained. Our dogs were instantly comfortable and exploring. There was a good bit of shade and the fencing was secure. We will definitely be back. I felt very welcome.
55Thank you for allowing us the use of your yard! DaVinci and Einstein had lots of fun!
55Wonderful as usual!
55My pup had a wonderful time at shepherd shire. Host was very thoughtful and had water and extra balls for my dog to play with. We will definitely return. Thanks so much Steph for hosting a sniffspot
55Wonderful spot! Fencing wasn't quite as secure as I'd hoped--some small gaps where an ambitious dog could get through--but we had a great time and it was so perfect for dog training.
55My dogs and I love it here! They enjoy exploring the trees and sniffing in the leaves. There’s also a nice size grassy area to run in. It’s also a nice sanctuary for humans. I always feel so calm and peaceful here.
55My dogs had a blast running around! The host left toys, treats, and water bowls out for the dogs and chairs for the humans. The only downside was that the water to the hose is set up on a timer and it was turned off so I couldn’t get water for my dogs. Otherwise, a great spot and we’ll definitely be back.
55Juno had the best time. It was nice and quiet, water and toys were supplied for us, and we would definitely return.

Proud parent to four rescues- two dogs and two cats. I know the importance of a private fenced space for your dogs and want to share mine.

Poplar Creek Flower Farm and private dog oasisk

Want to see your dog really get up to speed? Want to let them chase a squirrel without having to worry about traffic? Swim and wade in a creek? Come see us at Poplar Creek Flower Farm! We have 40 acres we want to share with you. 10 acres are pastures/grass which we keep mowed about every 3 weeks and the rest are woods! We have about 2 1/2 miles of trails to walk, bike or run. We are just minutes away from Pilot Mountain State Park and Highway 52, a perfect spot to stop if you're passing through. Out buildings are off limits to everyone. If it is windy, please be extra mindful in the woods- trees and branches do fall! We try to keep up with any big downed trees and try to keep trails clear. If you notice something that you feel needs our attention, please leave me a message and we will do our best! On the lane to our place, you will pass neighbors who have dogs. Please be on the lookout and drive slowly. They are typically leashed or the Great Pyrenees are in the field with the goats. Please note that the map to the property is in the black box. This will show the trails and the swimming hole! The pond is not on our property, but the creeks are! Please ensure you and your dog protect against ticks/bugs. There is an abundance of wildlife on the property- deer, turkey, snakes, squirrels, vultures, hawks and groundhogs. Please make sure you're comfortable with you're dog's recall. We hope you come and enjoy some off leash time with your 4 legged best friend(s) as you explore the pastures, wooded trails and creek!
