There’s nothing better than getting to meet the puppy you helped name! 🐾

As part of their Community Outreach efforts, the Palmetto GBA team raised funds to support PAALS and the work we do. Their generosity also gave them the special opportunity to name one of our puppies, Zola!

We loved bringing Zola along for the check presentation so she could personally thank some of the wonderful people helping make her journey possible. 🐶💚

Thank you, Palmetto GBA, for investing in PAALS and helping us continue changing lives through the power of assistance dogs.
