Description

Come and play in Sammy’s Playground. There’s lots to do. With the entire 0.5-acre backyard fully enclosed by a new chain link fence (Fall 2022), the pups are free to roam and run to their hearts delight. And, wow… it sure is fun to watch them go!! The areas along the edges of the yard are wooded and make for fun pathways for explorations. The central area of the yard has a slight hill and is mostly open. This makes for plenty of romping and heavy-duty running- including long throws of a ball or a frisbee. Check out all of the photos and read the accompanying descriptions to get a better idea of how Sammy’s Playground will appeal to you and your furry friends!! And don’t worry about the yard (too much). There’s divots and mounds all around, no manicured lawns when dogs are at play. Go for it guys… Enjoy!! Come mid-May, the pool will be opened. While it’ll likely be too chilly for humans (and even some pups), many dogs will find great pleasure in retrieving their ball or simply going for a dip in the pool. Shortly thereafter, the furniture, gazebo, hammock, kiddie pool and a whole bunch more will be out for ALL to enjoy as we welcome summertime!! Yea As an added benefit, as listed in the additional charges, you may park your vehicle in an area away from the gate and take advantage of a leisurely stroll down the very-well-kept sidewalks of Park Street and adjoining neighborhoods. This might be a good way to burn off that last little bit of doggy energy or for some leash training while you’re here. ——- NOTE: to open the gate, simply reach over the top to find the key. Twist/turn the key until it stops. Then, lift the knob on top of the gate and push the gate open… you’re in! The gate automatically closes behind you. Please confirm that it has engaged into the closed position and then turn the key to lock yourself in. DO NOT REMOVE THE KEY.

Hazards

Fence: none. Given the fence was installed in Fall 2022, we are not aware of any hazards at this time. Yard: The yard is for dogs and is not a manicured lawn. It is, after all, a yard for dogs. There are divots and small holes throughout the far back of the yard to which folks and pooches alike should be aware. Deck: The deck alongside the pool is in good condition with minor repairs to be done soon. Shed: Do not walk on or allow your dog to walk on the small deck associated with the shed/garden center. The deck is in total disrepair. The main shed door does not slide closed. There’s no problem with dogs going inside for a quick sniff and curiosity check, but it’s otherwise off limits. Gates: must keep closed - It is extremely important that folks pay close and strict attention to ensuring that the mechanisms that keep the gates closed are indeed CLOSED AND LOCKED. Be certain that the Main Gate is indeed locked by giving the gate a gentle jiggle. When locked, there will be a little red dot that will appear through a small circle where the key/lock is. Do not remove the key for ANY reason

Hi, I’m Sherri Walker and am married to David Haffermehl… 35 years now and still going strong. We raised our two sons here, Justin and Mitch, and have had the pleasure to supplement our family with countless dogs and a couple of cats. We adopt mostly senior dogs, but this time we fell in love with an adult dog. His name is Sammy (a rescue from Texas); hence, we named this Sniffspot “Sammy’s Playground” for him. I enjoyed two very successful careers before becoming disabled. I was an environmental consultant responsible for assessing and remediating hazardous waste sites. Then, I was the Director of Regional Economic Development for the Neponset Valley Chamber of Commerce where the focus was on transportation improvements. Still disabled, my life is now fairly quiet and relaxed, as I do some babysitting and work for a dear friend who owns Happy Tails Doggy Daycare (Franklin). My volunteer work focuses primarily on collecting donations of dog items for PAWS New England, a large dog rescue organization (PawsNewEngland.com). I will happily accept donations on your behalf- dog and puppy food are paramount!! You can always donate through their website and learn of other opportunities to get involved, including how to become a foster.

The yard is completely fenced in. There is a huge clearing for ball throwing and running, as well as woods further back for adventures. This yard has everything a dog could want. People find it pretty awesome too!!! Update: hose water is turned off for the winter otherwise the pipes freeze. It will be turned back on in spring!
