The Puppies of Spotted In Rochester Minnesota

Spotted In Rochester is sometimes filled with negative people knocking everything just to be a troll. Other times, it is filled with awesomeness, like the day I asked for pictures of member pups.

If you shared a picture, but don't see it here (and have the rights to share it), email it to me at james.rabe@townsquaremedia.com. I'll add it to the collection (there's always more room for dogs).
