Meet Solara
Super sweet, smart, and friendly girl
Loves everyone: people, kids, dogs, cats, and even chickens
Knows sit and is working on stay
Eager to please and very responsive to correction and redirection
Food motivated, but even more motivated by human attention
Velcro pup who loves being by your side-snuggling on the couch or relaxing nearby while you work
Sleeps through the night and loves sharing the bed
Walks very well on a leash
Athletic and agile-can easily jump a 3' gate to stay close to her people
Occasional counter surfer (and once a table climber!), but improving quickly with guidance
A little squirrely in the bath-still deciding how she feels about those
Vocal in a charming way: squeaks when nervous or excited and barks appropriately
Overall, Solara is a joyful, affectionate companion who thrives on closeness, guidance, and love-and she's ready to be someone's very best girl.
*I am Ehrlichia and Lyme positive. Treatment is typically 28 days of doxycycline (an inexpensive antibiotic). With this disease, a dog may always test positive even if treated. The adopter is responsible for treatment, including cost. It's always a good idea to plan to keep your dog on a joint supplement for life.
