Here at Fargo INC!, we love all things local business and meeting so many wonderful faces across the metro—including our furry friends! Meet some of the most adorable and huggable office dogs of Fargo-Moorhead (it’s okay if you let out a few audible “awws” along the way).
Truk
Breed: American Bullweiler
Business: Nelco First Ad
Meet Nelco First Aid’s office dog, Truk—an American Bullweiler named for his size, and it is also co-owner Kurt McSparron’s name spelled backward
Fun fact:
When Truk wants something that you are holding, he shakes his head “yes,” whether you asked him if he wants it, or not.
Rosie
Breed: French Bulldog
Business: Wimmer’s Diamonds
Meet Rosie, Aaron Wimmer’s French Bulldog. She loves to assist guests (and get belly rubs) as they look at jewelry.
Fun fact: Rosie is quite the model and enjoys posing for Wimmer’s online social content.
Solo
Breed: Shih Tzu
Business: Personal Touch Marketing
Solo is Vice President of Personal Touch and never misses a staff meeting (when there is food involved).
Drake & Lucca
Breed: English Labs
Business: Dakota Medical Foundation
Meet DMF’s two office dogs, Drake and Lucca! Drake is an English Lab, and has the temperament of a cat. He’s also DMF’s official Giving Hearts Day dog mascot!
“[Lucca’s] temperament is closer to that of a rowdy toddler,” Riley Boese of DMF said. “Her facial structure has led us to believe she’s part seal.” She is, however, also an English Lab.
Grace
Breed: Greater Swiss Mountain Dog
Business: Be More Colorful
Grace is a canine participant in K9 Crew Fargo, a group that gives at-risk youth a space to connect with others through canine obedience training.
Fun fact:
Grace will stay on her bed until she hears the command “free,” although she takes some liberties with what “on” her bed actually means.
Winnie & Chalie
Breed: Poodle Mix & Australian Shepherd Mix
Business: GoodBulb
Winnie and Charlie at GoodBulb are the best greeters in town! Winnie, who is a poodle mix, loves to sleep, and Charlie, who is an Australian Shepard Chocolate Lab mix, loves to play. Stop in and say hello!
Shepp, Riggs & Zeus
Breeds: Golden Retrievers & Lab/Shepherd Mix
Business: Dabbert Custom Homes
Shepp and Riggs are the ultimate dynamic duo—they go everywhere together! Where you find one you will find the other.
Zeus loves to watch out the window and open the door for guests as they come into the office.
Kevin
Breed: German Shepherd/Corgi Mix
Business: Tellwell Story Co.
Kevin has about a dozen brothers and sisters in the FM area with a very similar look, all coming from Turtle Mountain Animal Rescue through 4 Luv of Dogs.
Willow & Henry
Breeds: Mini Australian Shepherd/Mini Poodle Mix
Business: Zandbroz
“It is not an exaggeration to say that people come into Zandbroz just to see the dogs,” said Josie Danz of Zandbroz. “Especially Willow—everyone loves Willow. She will wiggle and wag her tail at just about anyone who comes through the door. She is the best marketing asset we have! Henry is a bit more selective in who he warms up to, but when he does, he’s a lover.”
Scout & Piper
Breed: Black Labs
Business: VISIONBank
Scout & Piper are the official greeters of VISIONBank, and they even know which clients regularly stop by just to give them a special treat!

Ruby is a hugger and loves boat rides in the summer!
Brady & Vinny
Breed: Shepherd/Pyrenees/Husky Mix

Kali
Breed: Great Dane/German Shepherd
Business: Heat Transfer Warehouse
Kali loves Costco bones and follows Brianna (HTW’s Executive Assistant) around the office no matter where she goes, including car rides. She also thinks she only weighs 30 pounds yet weighs over 110.
Lucy
Breed: Husky/Yellow Lab
Business: Heat Transfer Warehouse
Lucy is the best cuddler and gives hugs on demand. When running on a leash, if there are other runners ahead, she will try to pull you faster to get in first.
Harley

Harley can jump into office chairs in the blink of an eye, and can and will body slam you because he thinks you want to have fun.
Lion
