Palomina is a gentle, slow-moving older dog. She gets along well with everyone she meets. She enjoys having her ears scratched, and she'll roll right over for belly rubs if you start to pet her. She enjoys the company of other dogs, both large and small, and looks to them for comfort when she's feeling uncertain or nervous.

She walks well on leash, though she moves at her own pace, but stairs are a challenge for her right now. She needs to lose a considerable amount of weight, and will need support with that in her next home. Palomina is also beginning to lose some of her hearing and vision, but she uses her nose to help her navigate.

Palomina came to us from Santa Cruz County Animal Services, where she was surrendered by her guardians. Her guardians are going through a divorce, and neither party was able to keep a dog.
