At 13, Paloma Deserves Comfort, Not Dental Pain

At 13 years old, Paloma lost everything she knew when she was surrendered to a shelter. Thankfully, a compassionate foster stepped in, opening their heart and home to this deserving senior girl.

After arriving in foster care, it became clear that Paloma had been living with significant dental pain for quite some time. An examination revealed severe dental disease, including exposed roots on several molars, causing her daily discomfort and making it difficult for her to enjoy her golden years.

Thanks to Dogs Are Deserving, Paloma now has a chance at a brighter future. But before she can fully enjoy the love and comfort of her new beginning, she urgently needs dental surgery to remove the damaged teeth and finally relieve her pain.

No dog should have to suffer through their senior years in discomfort. Please consider donating toward Paloma’s dental surgery. Every contribution, no matter the size, will help give this sweet girl the comfort, care, and second chance she deserves.

Together, we can help Paloma leave her pain behind and focus on what matters most, living the happy, comfortable life every dog deserves.
