Palomito
Meet Palomito! This beautiful puppy had a terrible start to life. He was found in a junkyard outside of Guadalajara, Mexico along with his siblings Pickles, Pumpkin and Pepino and went to the shelter with three breaks in his back leg. He may have gotten caught in a fence or hit by a car; but this wonderful puppy just wants to hang with you. His siblings have all been adopted here in the PNW and now it is his turn! Palomito is super playful with other dogs, but get him in your lap and he will cuddle until the cows come home! He received medical care for his leg and it has been fully healed for several months now. Palomito is very motivated to please and would learn anything you wanted him to. He is already great on leash. His parents are both lab mixes, he is just about 1 year old, and weighs 48lbs. He gets along well with kids, cats and other dogs and is truly a treat. His sweet and happy disposition is a joy to be around. Palomito is being fostered in Bend, OR and is ready to start his next and best chapter with you!

Our Vetting policy
Puppies (under 1 year of age) have received a veterinarian exam prior to departing, rabies vaccination (if over 4 months old), up to 3 rounds of DHLPP (dependent on age), Bordetella (kennel cough), deworming, flea/tick preventative, heart worm test and sterilization. Any further medical care or treatment will not be covered by The Rawley Project. Once you take physical possession of the animal the responsibility lies with you. We highly recommend you take you new pet to a veterinarian for a fecal test as parasites are very common in shelter environments and while they are treated before departure, they may need additional rounds of medication.
Adults (1 year and older) are up to date on rabies and DHPP vaccinations and accompany their most recent medical records from a veterinarian. All known issues are disclosed to the best of our ability. Once you take physical possession of the animal the responsibility lies with you.
Our Rehoming Policy
While we expect you to enter into any adoption with the intention to commit to being that pets forever home, if you should determine, after significant efforts have been made on your part, that an animal you adopt from The Rawley Project is not the right fit for your home you may list your pet on our site for free until we identify a suitable placement. We do not have a physical shelter and cannot physically take your animal into our care. You will need to find an appropriate solution to safely and humanely continue care for the animal while looking for a new owner.
