About Paloma

Paloma is a delightful 2-year-old mastiff mix, weighing in at 74 pounds. This girl showcases all the qualities mastiff lovers cherish—she's loyal, intelligent, and has adorable wiggles that will melt your heart. Originally adopted as a puppy, she ended up returning to the shelter due to her previous owner's lack of time, leaving her understandably confused and fearful. Fortunately, we rescued her from the euthanasia list, and she has blossomed since then. In her foster care, Paloma has revealed her friendly nature. She adores people of all ages, showing zero signs of fear even with those in wheelchairs. With other dogs around her size, she's a playful companion and has thrived in daycare settings. Though she gets along well with kids, she would do best in a home with children aged 8 and older, as her exuberance might unintentionally knock a smaller child over. Paloma is a high-energy girl who needs plenty of exercise—aim for at least 1.5 hours daily. While she loves being active, she also enjoys cuddling up beside her human after a good play session. Training is important for her, and she's eager to please but will require a confident handler familiar with large breeds. Given her background, she does have some leash reactivity, but with continued training, she can excel. Although Paloma is crate trained and settles down well after exercise, she needs an owner committed to her ongoing development. This remarkable girl is waiting for the right home where she can thrive. If you think you can provide that, she's ready to give unconditional love. Click apply to start the adoption process.
