Paloma is a gentle, sensitive soul who’s looking for a patient and understanding family to help her continue to build confidence and feel safe in the world. She came to us in late October after her previous family faced a housing crisis. Her history suggests she didn’t have much exposure to new people or experiences outside the home, so the shelter was understandably overwhelming for her — she was too nervous and fearful to handle safely there. Thankfully, Paloma is now thriving in a loving foster home that’s giving her the time and space she needs to come out of her shell. In foster care, Paloma lives with both large and small dogs, cats, foster kittens, and even a preschooler. She’s comfortable with calm, respectful children who let her approach on her own terms. She can sometimes get a little too interested in chasing kittens but is learning that cats are friends, not toys. Paloma is food-motivated and responds well to gentle guidance and positive reinforcement. She was reported to be housebroken in her previous home, though she’s had a few accidents as she adjusts — she’ll also use potty pads if needed. She doesn’t enjoy car rides just yet and would do best in a quieter home where she can feel secure and settle in at her own pace. Once Paloma feels comfortable, her loving and loyal nature begins to shine through. She just needs someone who will be patient, kind, and willing to show her that the world isn’t so scary after all. If you have a calm home and a gentle heart, Paloma could be the perfect companion to share your quiet moments and unconditional love. Please contact her foster parents, Allison and Joshua, at waldvogel0724@gmail.com to inquire about Paloma or set up a visit. Be sure to give Allison and Joshua 24 hours to respond.
