About Paloma

Paloma is a remarkable 1.5-year-old Cane Corso mix weighing 74 pounds. She embodies the warmth and loyalty typical of mastiff breeds, displaying a strong bond with her human. When she was returned to the shelter after being kept outside, she experienced confusion and fear, but she quickly blossomed in foster care. This gentle giant is friendly with everyone she meets, showing no signs of fear even with people in wheelchairs. Paloma interacts well with other playful dogs her size, but given her more dominant personality, she would do best with neutral or submissive companions. With a high prey drive, she should not be in a home with cats. Paloma is eager to learn and participates actively in training.

With the right routine and attention, Paloma will repay your efforts with endless loyalty and affection.
