Meet Palmer, a handsome 2½-year-old Border Collie mix weighing 62 pounds. He is smart, athletic, playful, and happiest when active, fetching balls, playing with toys, and engaging with his people. Palmer is patiently waiting for his forever home while healing from a significant abrasion to his foot.

Palmer loves leash walks, though his exuberance can sometimes be overwhelming. With consistency, regular walks, positive reinforcement, and clear guidance, he can continue developing into a wonderful walking companion. He is loyal, affectionate, and ready to be an adventure buddy and devoted best friend.
