55We love this spot and we love the rescue 💜
55This is my absolute favorite spot! There is always water for the dogs, bags, and a poo can, places to sit, and lots of room to run. I also like seeing the horses and other farm animals. It's great!
55Secure fencing, serene and private, tall grass to romp in, and pools---a short one for little dogs, and a big one for bigger dogs. My dog tried each one, and also jumped in the water trough! He had a blast! He loved the tether pull, the toy box, the tiny house, and the space to run at full speed! We will definitely be coming back!
55Lovely property. Pigs are so cute and friendly. Only one of my dogs is still scared of them but my others pay no attention to them anymore. They won’t hang out at the fence if my dog starts barking at them. Having the pools is wonderful for my huskies. They love the water. So many toys available. Lovely place we come here a lot now.
55Melissa's place is wonderful! Very clean, not muddy (in the summer anyway) and the pool was so much fun for our dogs. So many toys and amenities. The fence was completely safe and they loved bounding around the field. Our favorite sniffspot so far. Thank you all so much!
55This place was awesome. My dogs just played and played and played and played, ran and ran and ran and ran. And of course barked at the pig.
55Such a lovely experience as always! The pups are worn out from playing and exploring - thank you!
55love the place and will be back! Highly recommended!!
55Great place, lots of water and animals! Best place around!
55The host is so communicative and always has the spot ready to go with fresh water and towels. Can’t recommend this spot highly enough!

Description

Welcome! We offer a 1 acre, fenced spot for your dog(s) to run, play, dog, sniff and bark! **Please see pic showing details of road work. Sept 3-Oct 11** Beautiful views and farm animal neighbors add to the fun. Shade trees and seating make this spot fun for all! Long and short grass *currently approx 1/3 mowed, the rest is a field of high grass. There is a trail mowed around outside a few through center*, slight hills, a sand pile and dirt to dig in too! We are a farm animal sanctuary and wildlife friendly. There may be long grass, insects, farm animal poo and other farmy stuff. Fun smell things such as feathers, wool, horse hair etc is added for dogs to sniff. All is cruelty free. WINTER: Seasonal pond takes up the lower portion of the spot. It may grow and shrink throughout the season. Dogs love it! Ground will likely be soggy but we will close if entrance becomes unsafe. SUMMER: During warm weather there is a 9’ stock tank pool (not filtered) for dogs. One adult may accompany each dog but please no children. >> Please note! Perimeter fence was replaced and spot now includes additional space! There are more trees and brush included for your dogs sniffing pleasure. Please use caution, there are some new trip hazards and holes. We have walked this multiple times but things may continue to work their way out of the exposed earth. We think dogs will enjoy even more but be aware, it’s a little more wild than before! << Private parking for one or two vehicles available. If additional needed, please message host. Clean porta potty available for guest use. This is also used by others, please keep dogs leashed in this area. This park is dedicated to Dexter, the King of Bork. He was a loud, happy guy that lived to bark! He inspired Misspits Rescue who has saved hundreds of dogs and other animals. All proceeds from this rental support Misspits and the animals in our care.

Hazards

Long and short grass, holes/uneven ground back in trees area mostly. Some brush/growth possibly stickerbushes (but we try to keep them under control) in far corner/side. Rodents in high grass! Mine love to chase but be aware if you don’t want that! One side borders 2 large pigs. They are friendly but watch anything poking through to them! One side borders a horse, friendly. Electric fence to horse is not on. Although not a hazard really, there may be old farm poo (horse/goat/sheep) it’s old and dry but dogs may find fun! *For very small dogs, please be cautious of eagles and hawks *Highway borders one side so there is road noise *during some seasons the grass is maintained by goats/sheep/horse (not during visits!) poop may be found *fireworks can sometimes be heard May-July I will try to message guests if they are happening (if you have to leave due to fireworks please msg for a code) *during hunting season, shots may be heard **DURING FLOOD SEASON there may be a seasonal pond/huge puddle** ***SPIDERS please be aware we are home to many native creatures, including beneficial spiders. Many orb weavers choose our fences to make their homes. They catch many flying insects and we appreciate that! Please do not disturb. There is a large yellow garden spider and egg sack on the fence facing the horses/barn PLEASE DO NOT DISTURB. Thank you!

Large 1/3 acre lot, perfect to chuck it far and tire out your canine.

Added an outhouse with hand sanitizer, covered seating area, privacy screen along fence to help with anyone walking dogs down the street or the neighbors concrete business. Mostly quiet neighborhood where you can feel safe to let your dog run and dig. Large playground tunnel equipment for your doggy to play in! Don't let the darkness defeat you taking your canine out to play! Installed 3 street lights to keep the early darkness at bay. Light timer switch is on the left inside the dog two way gate. Lights take a couple minutes to get fully bright. Now you can play with your dog from 6am to 9pm. Enjoy this private area that you can let your dog off leash without having to worry about anyone interrupting your time with your dog. Picnic table with cover. Water dish, poop bags, waste bin, sticks and balls with a chuck it at entrance. Coordinate with a friend and meet here to let your dogs play together while you catch up. We charge $13 for the hour space rental so, *please mark only one dog even if you are bringing more* The space has a long grassy open [360 feet] area to use a chuck it for dogs that love to fetch. A large cedar provides shade on half of the property while the other half is in the sunshine. This is a fun spot for dogs to exercise their legs and noses. Please check back for future upgrades.
