Palomo

My story

Meet Palomo! Palomo was surrendered to Baldwin Park Shelter by his owner for unknown reasons. Like so many other dogs, he developed a respiratory illness while in the shelter. On April 22nd, we scooped him up to become a Frosted Face. Palomo is 11 years old, weighs 13.5 lbs, and has a sweet personality. Palomo went on a two-week Frosted Fling, giving us the chance to learn more about him in a cozy home setting while he soaked up extra love and attention. Palomo's Fling Mom reports: "Pally has really blossomed since we took him home. He loves trotting around and exploring. He tends to follow me, unless he's tired. Pally lights up when there's food around. You can tell he was neglected, he's slow to trust, was a bit shut down and scarfs food down like he's been starved for weeks. We've gone slowly with him, and respected his boundaries and he shows his appreciation by coming up asking for pets which he never used to do. He also sleeps next to me sometimes, which is new. Pally is the most handsome gentleman who rarely barks and snores when he sleeps. He gets along with everyone, deals super well with chaos/change and is super resilient. He knows how to get his needs met. The few times he's needed help (a door is closed or he can't find me) he barks until I help. Since Pally is finally coming out of his shell and tolerating car rides a little better, we're going to extend our time with him a little longer. I want to take him to dog parks and on adventures to socialize him a bit more before I bring him back. Pally is so easy, cute, and resilient. Someone come adopt this perfect senior chihuahua!" Be sure to watch the videos from Pal's fling, and see how well he did with the cat and others dogs in the home!
