Paloma is a 5-year-old Chihuahua weighing about 10 pounds, with a gentle and affectionate nature that shines once she feels safe. She can be a little shy at first, but once she settles in, her sweet personality comes through and she happily leans into affection and companionship. She arrived at the shelter with a litter of puppies and devoted herself to raising them, and now it's finally her turn to be cared for and find a home of her own. Paloma is still adjusting to new surroundings and experiences, and she's learning a little more every day as her confidence grows. She'll do best with a patient adopter who understands that trust takes time and who will give her the space to continue blossoming at her own pace. Underneath that initial shyness is a very loving little dog ready for her next chapter. Approved adopters interested in Paloma can email adopt@hbrdogs.com for more info.
