Animal Bio

Solstice is a gorgeous, wiggly, doodle-looking girl with big chocolate eyes and a resilient heart. She was very pregnant when seized by animal control, but found safety in a foster home where she raised her puppies and began healing. Now recovered from her spay, she’s ready to find her forever family. She adores her foster mom—running to her for pets, cuddles, and gently placing a paw on her arm for affection. Solstice appears to attach strongly to one person but is very slow to trust others. A pellet removed from her body confirms she’s been through hard times, but she has never shown aggression and allows vet staff to handle her without issue; she simply chooses distance from unfamiliar people whenever possible. She seems to do well in a home with dogs, and interacts well with children and cats. Solstice needs a patient, experienced adopter who understands fearful dogs and will let trust grow at her pace. She walks beautifully on leash. Appears low- to non-shedding, and is fully house trained. For the right person, Solstice will be a deeply loyal and loving companion. Solstice currently weighs about 29lbs., is approximately 2 years old (est. birth date 04/10/2023), and her adoption fee is $660. Solstice will be spayed soon, is up to date on all vaccinations & preventatives, and is microchipped.
