About Paloma

Paloma is a delightful adult female dog who recently spent some time in a foster home and charmed her way into her caregiver's heart. She's potty trained and can comfortably hold her bladder through the night. Paloma is not crate trained but has shown improvement, retrieving her toys and treats from her crate by the third night. While she seeks affection rather than food, she loves her toys and knows which ones are meant for her. Paloma is extremely friendly with people and has met various members of her foster family without a hitch, though she may need gradual introductions to new visitors. She's shown some mild reactivity to dogs, particularly during direct encounters, which suggests she could benefit from slow introductions or training. With a low to medium energy level, Paloma enjoys walks and loves to snuggle. After playtime in the yard, she calms down nicely. Anyone would be fortunate to welcome Paloma into their home and give her the love she deserves. Ready to make a new friend? Hit apply and let's get started.
