We love dogs and have 4 ourselves, either rescues or foster fails. We understand the need for dogs to have a place to run that is private and secure. Since my own dogs aren't outside on my place all the time I thought it would be nice to open it up so others could enjoy the space and safety. The perimeter fencing was carefully put up to keep my own dogs safe and secure. It provides such a peaceful and safe environment. I love sharing my property with other pup parents and it has been a joy to hear from so many guests who have made special memories with their furry family members while visiting my sniffspot
