• “Palmer is a 3 year old English cream, golden retriever. He is the sweetest, goofiest boy! He loves water and to run around with his brother.“

  — Madison B.

• “I am a 2 year old rescue pup. I’m not sure what breed I am as I think I might be a mixture of breeds. I love playing fetch with my Mum, sniffing new things and running around. I am a very good boy, I know this because my mum tells me and gives me treats!“

  — Angela E.

• “Hi, my name is Palmer. I’m a 4 year old rescue from KCPP and I’ve had a crazy life. My mom’s adopted me and I’ve been a happy and healthy boy ever since. I love to play and be outside but dogs and people can scare me. I would love to come play in your backyard!“

  — Taylor S.

• “I'm a spunky energetic Airedale that loves to chase prey so much that I shake with anticipation. I'm also super empathic and make sure no one hurts my older sister. I can act tough but then I'll be your best friend. I love dogs bigger than me because I feel that I'm just as big so ya know we are the same level then. ;0)“

  — Charity M.

• “Palmer is the sweetest guy. He is a purebred Siberian Husky and has had general anxiety since birth and that is the reason the person who got him from the breeder surrendered him. I am so grateful I found him and was able to adopt him and to slowly help him get through his anxiety. There is still a ways to go, but I am excited for him to explore quieter spaces to run free and not be stressed by other people or dogs.“

  — Jaqulyn M.

• “Hi I'm Palmer and I'm the boss! I am a little aggressive in everything I do but hey I started my life as a street dog! I hate water but love to chase things and I love one on one play. I'm a lover but can get mad at my brothers from time to time. I also don't like other dogs and that's why mom says I can't go to the dog park. All around I'm a good boy I just have a unique personality and everyone knows it.“

  — Andrea H.

• “Hello. I’m Palmer Francis. I like long walks in the neighborhood with my mom and dad, hiding my treats in the couch, and sneaking some Parmesan cheese off the countertop when no one is looking. While my parents are at work, I go to school 2 days a week, spend 1 day a week at my grandma’s house and the other days dad comes home to eat lunch with me. My friends and I like wrestling, butt-sniffing and digging holes. Mom said I might meet some new friends through this business idea. Any takers?“
