Meet Paloma!
Paloma is an energetic and lovable shepherd (mix) who will be turning two years old in January 2025. He is currently residing with an in-home trainer, where he’s been since mid-June, and has shown great promise in his training. He has so much potential and with the right guidance, will continue to thrive.
Paloma is an outdoor enthusiast who absolutely loves to run, and will happily chase the wind for hours if you let him. Once a bond/relationship is formed and boundaries are firm, I feel Paloma would make an excellent hunting companion with proper training, which could be a great outlet for his energy and intelligence. Paloma is highly active, and an ideal home for him would be one that can keep up with his need for exercise and mental stimulation.
When it comes to relationships, Paloma can be selective in who he attaches to. He would do best in an active, but non-chaotic home—somewhere with enough room for him to explore, but without the overwhelming energy of small children. Teens are okay, provided there are slow introductions. Paloma has shown a preference for women, but has also formed a strong bond with a male in his trainer's home, so he’s certainly capable of building relationships with males as well, although he may take some time to warm up.
Paloma does very well with other dogs and cats, making him a great companion for a multi-pet household!
Paloma’s ideal home will be with a highly experienced dog owner who understands his needs and is patient with his learning process, some things just take some time, and that's ok. His new owner/family should be someone who can provide structure,firm boundaries, and plenty of outdoor adventures.
With continued training, Paloma has the potential to be an amazing companion and an active part of your life. If you're looking for a smart, loyal, and enthusiastic shepherd who will reward your patience with an incredible bond, Paloma could be the perfect fit.
