55Nice big space to walk around. It’s all chain link fence, but a good amount of space between this yard and the fence of the next yard. We did see the neighbors dog, but it wasn’t a big deal for us. :)Jason B.

55 This might be a perfect backyard for dogs! It is longer than it is wide, which Allows for good ball, throwing and full out running!  The yard is well treed, so, even on the hottest day, there would be plenty of shade. The hosts are very kind and convivial Linda W.

55Our 1st Sniffspot visit with my four month old Pharoah Hound. Nice, cool place, well-secured. Large water bucket looked like water had been changed minutes ago. We brought our own toys but there are many to use if you have none. Cheaper than the others and located well for us. Thank you very much. Jon P.
