PAALS is growing by leaps and bounds! We have recently welcomed five new pups into our program, with a sixth scheduled to arrive in a few weeks! Our four pups with names are above, but our fifth pup here does not have a name yet! This little girl is ready to learn, but needs a name to learn with. Our sixth pup that is still to come is also nameless at the moment. Could you help out either of these two little girls? Please contact PAALS right away if you are interested! This can be a fabulous way to surprise a loved one by naming a puppy in their honor. The website with more info about becoming a name sponsor can be found
here.
