About Sol

Meet Sol, the definition of a gentle soul. This sweet girl may not be the dog that runs up to greet you on day one; in fact, she can be quite shy and nervous when meeting new people or experiencing new situations. The world can feel a little overwhelming to her at first, but if you're willing to give her patience, understanding, and time, you'll get to watch her beautiful personality slowly shine through. Once Sol begins to trust you, she enjoys gentle pets, peaceful companionship, and simply being near her people. She finds comfort in routine and loves spending time in her kennel, which she considers her safe space. You'll often find her relaxing there with the door open, choosing to retreat when she needs a little quiet time. Sol is fully potty trained, walks beautifully on leash, and absolutely loves her daily walks. They help her build confidence and feel more secure in the world. She also enjoys lounging outside in the sunshine, watching the world go by from a window, and collecting stuffed animals. Her one weakness? Squirrels! She may get excited when she spots one, but she's responsive and redirects well. This lovely girl gets along with cats and does best with smaller dogs, as larger dogs can make her nervous. She would be happiest in a calm home with older, respectful children who understand that she needs space and time to warm up. Sol isn't motivated by treats or food, and she's not food aggressive, but she does appreciate privacy while eating. She's looking for someone who understands that trust is earned, not rushed. If you're the kind of person who believes the best relationships are worth waiting for, Sol just might be your perfect match. Watching her grow in confidence and learn that she's finally safe is a reward unlike any other.
