Hi, I'm Paula

I've lived on our croft here in Shetland for eighteen years. Long enough to know the impossible choice every dog owner faces: keep them confined and safe, or risk them around sheep. 

​

I've watched dogs escape and cause harm. I've seen those same dogs spend the rest of their lives confined because there was simply nowhere else for them to go.

​

And I've walked my own dogs on-lead along the road, watching them strain towards the freedom they needed but couldn't have. 

​

One evening, walking through a fenced section of our croft, I turned to my husband Magnus and said: "Wouldn't it be wonderful if people could bring their dogs here – safely?" 

​

It took a while, but here we are. We've built what we wished existed when we first arrived in Shetland: a place where dogs can run free, you can relax, and nobody has to worry. 

​

Welcome to Peerie Paws Park. We're so glad you're here.
