About Palomino

Meet Palomino, the gentle giant you're eager to welcome into your family! She is incredibly sweet and well-behaved. Palomino knows how to sit, shake for treats, lay down, and stay. She's comfortable during car rides and enjoys long naps. If there's ice being made, she comes running, ready to collect her "ice cube tax". In her foster home, Palomino communicates when she needs to go outside and sleeps peacefully through the night. She can be left alone for a full workday, entertaining herself with cozy couch naps. While she’s still getting used to people approaching from behind or around corners—an understandable reaction for a dog adjusting to new experiences—she is adapting well. In her previous shelter, Palomino showed some resource guarding, but her foster home has seen a change, allowing her to thrive more freely. If you're looking for a loving companion, Palomino is ready to fill your home with joy. Click apply to start the adoption process.
