Our neighbor's dog is sometimes in their yard. He's a barker, but friendly and also well-secured behind their fence, separated from us by a driveway. 🐶 We also have resident dogs outdoors who are available for "extra" socialization. Otherwise, they're kenneled out of sight during your visit

Hazards

HOST NOTE

A tree fell in the yard so there is some excess shrubbery in parts of the lawn near the felled tree -Front porch has rocking chairs, ammenities, and the 'extras' for guests when purchased. If your dogs tend to chew on furniture or rugs please keep an eye on them while on the porch because there are some loose decorations n such - We have chickens fenced away but are visible. - Lastly, we have an active mole, so there will be dirt mounds (we collect for soil) that may look like there's a horse on property... We promise, there isn't lol Thank you!

Welcome to my whimsical and woodsy play place in the city. The Shire is a large, happy go lucky yard that reflects seasonal changes with its varying colors and foliage.🌼🪻 Always spacious enough for fetching and endless zumiez, it also offers hide-aways, bushes and trees for the adventurous, sniffy pups to explore. Dogs in-training will enjoy the safety of full fencing as they learn how to both play independently and respond to our typical surroundings of occasional winged🦜, wheeled🛞 and pawfoot🐾 traffic. This 2yr old sniff spot is also a spot in-training with growth and improvements being worked on every season. I welcome feedback to help make every visit a most FUN-furred experience for all our dogs and their fun-loving families!

Green Acres Homestead 1 Acre Sniffspot

Fully Fenced
1 acre

Welcome to Green Acres Homestead! Discover acres of adventure on our fully fenced pasture, complete with a seasonal creek and a peaceful pond—perfect for dogs to run, splash, and explore. Nestled on a charming farm beside Green Acres K9 Resort (A dog boarding and daycare facility), our play space offers a secure and refreshing retreat for your pups, whether they're visiting for playtime or boarding nearby. Important: Please keep an eye out for sniff spot signs and follow them carefully to reach the designated play area. You are encouraged to park all the way at the end of the driveway infront of the fence. Reality alert: Most folks already understand this and really enjoy bringing their dog here to play but for those that may not be as familiar we really want to make sure that you understand the environment that you will experience when you come to our sniff spot. It is very likely that the following could occur: 1)Hear a dog barking from the boarding facility 2)See a farmer working 3)See livestock share a fence line (Yes you can say hello to them) 4)Find mud in the wet season, no creek in the dry season 5)Alge in the pond when the water is not flowing and weeds in the field 6)We work towards keeping the main area of the field free of blackberries and weeds that poke by mowing but do not guarantee a weed free environment 7)The creek and pond are spring fed but there is always a chance of picking something up in nature 8)Your dog is welcome to dig and carry sticks and rocks. Be aware there may be holes, sticks or rocks 9)There is a dock that has no problem supporting my family on the pond but makes no promise to support anyone. You are welcome to use it but understand that is at your own risk and judgment. 10)The pond has gradual sloping sides on over half the pond but there are sections where it is steep. 11)We really don't want to discourage anyone from enjoying this place like we, do but also don't want people to expect something that is maybe not a reality. We look forward to seeing you here sometime soon.

Tryon Creek Oasis

Fully Fenced
0.5 acres

***Closing our spot for a month+ since parking will soon be unavailable at the state park or street. 😔 We’re trying to figure out a way to provide a private parking space for guests.*** Hello! Our yard is located directly across from the entrance to Tryon Creek State Park on Terwilliger. This is the address provided since it’s closest to our spot.* You can either park at the lot and walk up to our spot, or park directly on Terwilliger just south of the entrance to the park, past the bus stop and no-parking sign, and walk across the street.** You’ll see our Sniffspot sign behind a line of boulders in front of our chain link fence (see photos). Please use caution when crossing the street, walking uphill, and stepping between the large boulders. *I really wish we had an on-site parking space to offer guests. Our actual address is on a narrow dead-end road. With three active cars, and vehicles constantly turning around in our awkward driveway, there simply isn’t a safe parking spot we can offer. **Street parking is almost always available. Cars will sometimes park on the street if Tryon Creek is busy (holiday weekends usually). If you should have any issue finding a parking spot, please reach out and I can help you. Once inside our spot, you’ll be on our lower yard. Walk uphill and you’ll have more flat space in our upper yard with amenities under the deck. Our space is mostly naturalized, hilly, and pretty rugged so appropriate shoes are recommended. We have a doggie pool available as well as other amenities like tennis balls, toys, dog treats, human treats, etc. We hope to have you as a guest soon! 😊

Private Dog Park by the Creek

Partially Fenced
1 acre

Private Dog Park on 1+ Acres near Mt. Scott Creek: Just 5 minutes from Clackamas Town Center, our one-acre enclosed field offers open space, rolling hills, and the serene Mt. Scott Creek meanders through the property. The creek flows year-round—its levels dip in summer—and there are several spots where pups can wade and cool off on warm days. Please note: the creek is not fenced at both ends. Our field is pesticide-free and treated with organic diatomaceous earth in early spring and late fall to sanitize and keep it free of pests. The creekside can be muddy during winter, but most of the property—especially the upper fields—remains dry year-round. Sniffin’ Hours: Monday to Sunday Spring & Summer: 8 AM – 8:30 PM Autumn & Winter: 8 AM – 7 PM During your visit, our two 5-year-old Doberman-Mastiff mixes will remain indoors so you and your pup can explore freely. Thanks for Sniffin’ at our Spot! —Daniel & Family
