Meet Palmer! This handsome ~2½-year-old Border Collie mix, weighing in at 62 lbs, has been patiently waiting for his forever home while he healed from a significant abrasion to his foot. True to his breed and resilient spirit, Palmer is ready for a lifetime of adventures as your perfect companion! Palmer is happiest when he's active, fetching balls, playing with toys, and engaging with his people. He’s smart, athletic, and thrives when he has room to move and a purpose to focus on.

He’s an intelligent dog who thrives with loving, consistent discipline and clear guidance.
