Paloma

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 2 years

This is Paloma, a beautiful medium-sized female dog. Her birth date is estimated to be around October 2023. She arrived at the shelter towards the end of 2024, together with her four puppies. Both she and her little ones were terrified of everything and everyone. We thought they would grow old here. But Paloma surprised us all — she slowly began to open up to us, to her caretakers. She’s still cautious, but her eyes seem to say: “Please, love me. Just… don’t hurt me. ” She hopes that someone will love her sincerely, take her home, and give her a soft pillow instead of the cold, exposed kennel. Paloma’s “package” is ready: vaccinated, chipped, sterilized — waiting for someone to trust her, so that she can finally trust back. She needs to know there are still good people in this world.

About Paloma

What life with Paloma looks like

Paloma is a medium-sized young adult mixed breed dog waiting at SOS Dogs FPCC Oradea in Oradea.

An young adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. Two reasonable walks a day plus play time is usually enough. Plan a "decompression fortnight" — quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures — to let them settle.

🇷🇴Adopting from Romania

Romanian rescues handle the highest volume of cross-border adoptions in the EU. Animals are quarantined and fully vetted before transport. Reputable rescues maintain detailed health records and post-adoption follow-up.

Frequently asked

Adopting Paloma, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Paloma?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. SOS Dogs FPCC Oradea handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Paloma on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Paloma if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — SOS Dogs FPCC Oradea will tell you what they need (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Paloma already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
Most dogs on TailHarbor leave their shelter with sterilization, current vaccinations, microchip ID, and an EU pet passport included in the adoption fee. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported — ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if Paloma isn't the right fit?
Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work — that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with SOS Dogs FPCC Oradea early rather than rehoming privately; they know Paloma and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.
Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?
TailHarbor translates shelter descriptions into English from the source language (EN). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.
