About Paloma

Meet Paloma! This young Husky came in as a stray and is approximately a year old. With her striking blue eyes and a beautiful long coat, she showcases the unique charm of her breed. However, she can be finicky about anything around her neck, so it’s best to approach her slowly. Given her spirited nature, she tends to be mouthy when she's excited and playing, which makes her a poor fit for homes with young children. Huskies like Paloma require special attention and are not suited for every household, so do your research to ensure a good match. Paloma is currently at the Richland County Dog Shelter in Mansfield, OH. The adoption process involves an application, which can be requested by phone or email. She's waiting for someone who understands her needs and character. Will you be that person?
