• “Hiya my name is Hermes! I am a ball of energy, and I LOVE my family. I think about my two moms every second of my being. In the kitchen, they’re making dinner…I’ll be there. While they’re showering…I’ll be there. When they’re sleeping…I’ll be there right at their feet. I have a lot of anxiety clearly but I’ve done so much work to be the pup I am today. Although I still wish I can be there when they go to the store or to the gym. My old name was Einstein for a reason, I am very smart and react to positive training well. I know a TON of words and know exactly what my moms are talking about or going to do and when. I got their routine DOWN. I love to play with my cousins when we go to grandma and grandpa’s house. It’s a great time, and I’m POOPED on the car ride home. Recently I’ve been going out more to restaurants and being so good, maybe more in the future.“

  — Aria H.
