PLEASE CLICK "SHOW MORE" below to continue reading about Paloma!<br/>Meet Precious Paloma, a 10 – 12 month old 48 lb. female Doodle puppy, who is in an IDOG foster home near San Antonio, Texas.<br/><br/> FAST FACTS ABOUT PALOMA:<br/><br/>*AGE: approx. 10-12 months old. She forgot her birth certificate when her owner surrendered her to the shelter so this is our vet’s best guess on her age. We think she is likely a Goldendoodle but have no way to know this for sure.<br/><br/>*WEIGHT: 48 lbs.<br/><br/>*FENCE REQUIREMENT: A physical fence & yard are required. She loves to be outside & the freedom to run around as much as she wants in a fenced yard. No invisible or electronic fences or e-collars are allowed as we do not think these would set her up for success.<br/><br/>*COAT TYPE: Soft & very curly, low-shedding coat. Adopter should be prepared to have her groomed regularly (about every 8 weeks) at a cost of $120+. She was covered in fleas and matted to the skin and was shaved upon intake by her amazing foster who also cleaned her ears that were full of dirt and mats. Her coat is growing in beautifully.<br/><br/>*ENERGY LEVEL: Typical puppy energy . She may look full grown, but she is still very much a puppy & will benefit from continued obedience training, socialization, mental stimulation, & daily exercise. She gets excited when you come home & will jump up to greet you. She loves playing with toys & loves chasing balls but she does not bring them back to you yet. She walks about a mile a day. She knows how to settle down and is perfectly content napping at your feet or nearby. Paloma is happily to curl up with you and other dogs at night and sleeps through the night. She is excited when it is time to get up and go out. She plays about an hour outside then comes in for breakfast. <br/><br/>*DOGS: YES! She loves other dogs. She gets along well with the 3 dogs in her foster home. She constantly wants to play but backs down when corrected by one of the other dogs. During meals she goes to her own bowl and leaves the other dog’s food alone. She is still learning to sit and wait for the eat command. She pays attention to the other dogs in her foster home and picks up on the routine quickly. We think another fun dog in her forever home would be ideal so show her the ropes as we don’t think she had much exposure to the world before coming in to IDOG.<br/><br/>*CATS: Unknown; she has had no exposure in her foster home to cats.<br/> <br/>*KIDS: Does well with older children; we don’t know how she is around young children but she is well mannered and sweet. She does jump when she meets people or is excited so small children may not be ideal unless they are accustomed to large dogs and ok being accidentally knocked down.<br/> <br/>*CAR: She is afraid in the car as she has only been in one a few times including being taken to the shelter by her former owner. Her foster family is taking her out to get her used to riding in the car.<br/> <br/>*CRATE: She will bark for a few minutes when first put in her crate; she typically settles down within a few minutes. Since she is still a puppy & is currently crated when left unattended to keep her safe & out of mischief. She likes to chew but giving her safe chews works well. It will be important to continue keeping her in a secure space when no one is home until she matures & can be trusted on her own. Giving her a treat when she goes into her crate definitely helps! Once she settles in, she's usually calm. When you get home, she is excited to see you and be released. She is OK in the crate for 3-4 hours and then wants out to go play!<br/><br/>*HOUSE TRAINED: 95% there. We are still working on it. She does well when allowed outside every few hours. She has only had a few accidents since she has been in foster care.<br/> <br/>*LEASH: She has been doing very well on the leash. She walks with her foster siblings. <br/> <br/>*AT THE VET: She was sweet and obedient at the vet. She interacted with other dogs and was never aggressive and did not bark. She was nervous as expected.<br/> <br/>*WITH GROOMING: Her foster mom had to shave her due to severe matting and she was sweet and quiet. She stood still and was never aggressive. <br/> <br/>*VETTING: Paloma will be spayed soon, microchipped, current on core vaccines and current on heartworm/flea/tick preventives.<br/><br/>MORE ABOUT PALOMA:<br/><br/>Paloma is the sweetest, prettiest Doodle puppy who is approximately 10-12 months and weighs 47 lbs..

Our expenses are high these days due to increased vetting expenses, board & train costs, medical/health issues & surgery that is needed for some of our dogs. IDOG relies heavily on donations to bridge the gap between our adoption fees & our expenses. Unfortunately, donations are down across the board for all rescues.<br/><br/>TO APPLY FOR PALOMA-TEXAS PLEASE COMPLETE THE APPLICATION ON OUR WEBSITE: http://www.idogrescue.com/adoption_application
