Location

Thurmond, North Carolina

Description

Located in the foothills, the Slys Peace trail was created for dog stimulation. The trail starts at the lower end of the pasture and follows the creek meandering through a rhododendron forest. Situated at the base of 100 acres of wooded ridge land, the hike offers a wilderness experience customized to your comfort zone. There are multiple trails to accommodate your level of exercise. The full experience will require crossing the creek multiple times and is recommended for those with hiking experience. Trails are easy to follow with multiple exits that lead out to the pasture. This is dog heaven. Let your dog be a dog. To locate the gate entrance watch for the Giant metal horse. His nose points the way. Follow the fenceline a few hundred feet where you will find the gate just before the power line easement. There is now a large Sniff Spot sign securely attached.

I am an animal whisperer. I specialize in rescuing and rehabilitating dogs. I have dedicated my life to educating and helping humans understand their dogs. Socializing is the key to a well-balanced, secure dog. Exercise and stimulation vary from dog to dog, but regardless of breed, age, or size, exercise stimulates!

Partially Fenced

Welcome! 3.5 Acre Open Pasture. Right now its VERY basic. We are looking to add on amenities like a completely enclosed area as well. Right now, there is a fence but it serves as a property boundary. This fence would not a contain a dog who does not have recall. The wire is electric fence wire. The power is turned off to it. We have chickens. They will be enclosed and not a bother to you and your dog! more then likely you will hear our rooster. The coop is not inside the sniffspot. We have two dogs. They will be kept inside. They may bark at your arrival but you will not see them during your visit. There is an in-ground fence for them. But, we do not plan on ever having them out while you are visiting. Reach out with any questions!

MorXson Farm 2 Acre Fenced Pet Playland

Fully Fenced
2 acres

Welcome to our one-acre paradise, a doggy dreamland where tails wag and paws prance! Picture this: vast, rolling grassy plains stretch out like an emerald carpet, begging for a game of fetch or a full-on sprint session with your furry bestie. The wide-open spaces are perfect for zooming, chasing, and rolling down gentle hills—pure canine bliss! But wait, there’s more: tucked along the edges, you’ll find a shady grove of trees, a cool retreat where your pup can catch their breath, sniff out some squirrels, or just sprawl out for a well-deserved snooze. It’s the ultimate playground, blending high-energy romps with chill hangout spots. And the cherry on top? Marked parking is just a short stroll away from the play area, so you and your pooch can hop out and dive into the fun in no time. Bring your four-legged pal here, and watch their eyes light up with joy! Just one little rule to keep this haven pristine: please scoop the poop—let’s keep it a clean, green scene for every pup to enjoy!
