She is a world class cutie cuddle bug who has mastered the art of the velcro dog lifestyle.

We think this gorgeous girl is a perfect blend of Labrador and Pittie, wrapped up in a striking, bright white coat that makes her look like a four legged marshmallow. She’s a medium to large girl with a heart that’s even bigger than her frame! She’s solid enough for big hugs but perfectly sized to fit on the sofa next to you and not take up the whole couch. Of course, as with any rescue, her breed is mostly a guess but we’re 100% certain she’s 100% good girl!

Paloma is currently thriving in a loving foster home, soaking up all the affection she can get! She is a polite lady who has already mastered her "sit" and "down" commands. She's a smarty who will do just about anything for a little bit of cheese. She is always down for a car ride and travels beautifully. While she can be a little shy around new faces, she has a gentle, sweet soul; she just prefers to take her time making friends at her own pace!

When it comes to other pups, Paloma is a lady who appreciates her personal space. She likes to set clear boundaries and prefers friends who are calm and respectful. She is a "quality over quantity" girl when it comes to doggy pals! She would be happiest as your one-and-only or paired with a mellow male dog who understands that she likes her by me time. She’s currently practicing her social skills in special playgroups and is making great progress learning that new friends can be fun!

How does Paloma feel about feline friends? Well, she’s a curious girl with a soft heart! To be totally sure if she’s ready for a cat sibling, we’d love for her to have a kitty sleepover. We think she has the potential to be a feline’s best friend, but a little supervised playdate will give us the final paws up!

Paloma is looking for a house to call her own where she can truly settle in no apartments for this girl! She would love a home with a yard where she can practice her happy jumps in peace. She’d be happiest in a space that’s a bit more on the quiet side where she can truly be herself. Her only real requirement is a plush couch and a human who doesn’t mind a beautiful white shadow following them around. Something cute about her? The way she lights up and "jumps for joy" the second her favorite person walks through the door!

Paloma is a striking white beauty who transitions from a quiet observer to a bouncy, jumping bundle of love the moment she knows she’s safe. She’s the perfect mix of loyal shadow and lounge enthusiast, ready to fill your days with happy hops and your nights with the best snuggles you've ever had.
