Description

Posted Breed: Siberian Husky / Labrador Retriever / Mixed (short coat). Bright-eyed and bushy tailed! That's a fitting description of our boy Solo! Solo is a truly STUNNING boy, with one blue eye and one brown eye! But his looks are just a PLUS on top of all his other great qualities! Solo has TONS of personality and is very outgoing with people. He'd love to be someone's constant companion... on car rides and outings, hikes, dates - you name it! He's always "up" for anything! In his foster home, he enjoys playing fetch, playing with toys, SNUGGLING, or just laying quietly by his foster mom's feet. (ok, maybe that last part is after a busy day!) This boy is highly intelligent, and very eager to learn. He is very food motivated, which makes training a fun and easy task with him! And he always wants SOooooo much to please! Solo is quite an active boy and needs a family who is active, wants to spend a lot of time with their dog, and will provide him with regular stimulation and exercise. In his foster home, he enjoys spending lots of time romping, wrestling, and playing with the other dogs, so we believe he would do best in a home with another dog for companionship and a fenced yard for off-leash play is a must. (Solo does not always get along with male dogs, so ladies only please!) He does not have a lot of cat experience or experience with children. For this reason, he should not be placed with cats or children under the age of 10. All Solo needs is a great family to share all of his cool characteristics with! So if Solo strikes you as the fun-loving, wonderful companion that we know him to be, please inquire! Placement Requirements: fenced yard female canine companion active family who spends a lot of time with their dog no children under the age of 10 years How To Adopt Me: Step 1: First, p lease be sure you have read this pet's entire description in order to decide whether this particular pet is a good candidate for your family. We try to include as many details as possible about each pet, including the type of placement needs and requirements they have for adoption. Step 2: Be sure to read our adoption policies and procedures before contacting us. Step 3: E-mail us to request an adoption application and/or inquire about this pet.

1. Do your research – find out what types of dogs would be a good fit for your lifestyle and the activity level of your family. Also keep in mind the grooming needs of certain breeds that might require frequent maintenance.
2. Decide what you can handle – before you get sucked in by all the adorable puppy eyes you’re about to see, think long and hard about the appropriate age dog for your family or if you are capable of caring for a special needs dog. Puppies are a lot of work, if you don’t have time for potty training and obedience classes you’ll want to consider an older dog. There are plenty of middle aged, vibrant dogs up for adoption as well as many senior dogs that would be a great fit for a family looking for a more subdued dog with lots of love to give.
3. Learn about the shelters and their adoption policies – It might be easier to start looking at shelters within a certain radius of home but don’t be afraid to venture out to other states as well. Many states have larger populations of adoptable dogs and their shelters are willing to transport pets to suitable adopting families. Some shelters might have requirements for a home visit, a fenced yard or require you to visit the pet multiple times before you commit to adopting. Understand that the shelters are doing their best to place the pets in suitable homes and these requirements are in the best interest of both you and the pet.
4. Start looking… Once you know what you’re looking for and what to expect you can start your search through thousands of adoptable dogs. PuppyFinder allows you to search by age, breed, location and gender.
5. Meet in person. Whenever possible it is best to meet the animal in person before agreeing to bring them into your life. Even though photos and descriptions can tell you a bit about a dog, you can’t get a true feeling for the animal until you are able to interact with them and make sure they are a good fit for your entire family, including other pets.
