Paloma is an absolutely wonderful 1.5-year-old, 74lb cane corso mix who embodies everything people love about mastiff breeds. She is incredibly loyal, bonds deeply with her person, and has the cutest body wiggles you've ever seen! Paloma was returned to the shelter by her previous owner because they didn't have time for her and kept her as an outside dog. She was understandably scared and confused, but in foster care, she has blossomed into a joy. She is extremely friendly with all people, showing zero signs of stranger danger and loving everyone she meets. Paloma is also terrific with other playful dogs around her size, but she does have a more alpha personality, so a neutral or submissive canine companion would be best. Due to her high prey drive, she cannot live in a home with cats.
Ideal Home
Paloma is a high-energy young dog looking for an active home where she can get at least 1.5 hours of exercise per day. She also loves to cuddle and can be very chill when her exercise needs are met. She thrives on routine and exercise, and an owner willing to commit to her daily needs will be rewarded with her world. She needs a home without cats or small dogs.
Ongoing Health
No specific health conditions are mentioned.
Training & Support
Paloma loves to train and is very in tune with her foster. She redirects easily and is responsive to sounds. She is working on leash and crate training. While she is improving with crate training, she may vocalize for 10-20 minutes before settling. An adopter should be excited and willing to continue her training, especially with her leash walking, as she is still learning indoor life.
