About Paloma

Meet Paloma! Paloma is thriving in her foster care environment. This sweet girl has a playful spirit, loves exploring, and enjoys curling up for cozy naps. She displays excellent potty manners in her foster home and hops right into the car, eager for adventures. She gets along well with other dogs and is learning how to play; her play-bow isn't quite perfected yet, but she's on her way. Paloma is great with older children and is adjusting positively with younger ones. When she wants attention or hears a knock at the door, she'll greet you with her adorable hound-like bark. Though she’s not a fan of her crate at first, she settles down once she's in. Paloma may growl a bit when she sees unfamiliar men, but she quickly shows her friendly side once they approach. With a moderate energy level, she enjoys a good run outside but is just as happy to relax and soak up some affection. Paloma is making wonderful progress after just two days in foster care. With a little patience, she's revealing her easygoing and loving nature. Every animal deserves a happy ending; this one starts with you.
