Meet Palmer, a handsome ~2½-year-old Border Collie mix weighing 62 lb. Palmer has been patiently waiting for his forever home while he heals from a significant abrasion to his foot, but true to his resilient spirit, Palmer is ready to be your perfect companion! Palmer is happiest while doing what he does best — being active, fetching balls, playing with toys, and engaging with his people. He’s smart, athletic, and happiest when he has room to move and a purpose to focus on. Palmer is house-trained and has mastered the “sit” and “wait” commands, proudly showing off his ability to listen and obey when given the positive reinforcement and encouragement he needs to be successful. He loves leash walks, but sometimes his exuberance can be a bit overwhelming, but we are sure that with consistency and regular walks, he will learn to be a perfect walking companion. He’s an intelligent dog who thrives with loving, consistent discipline and clear guidance.
