Shepherd and Labrador Retriever Dogs Available for Adoption

Hi, I’m Sol! I was born around January 12, 2026, and I’m a sweet little Shepherd/Lab mix expected to grow into about 45 pounds. My journey started on the side of the road with my mama and siblings, and while it was a tough beginning, I’ve blossomed into a gentle, loving, and happy puppy who’s ready to shine in my forever home.

Here’s why I’m a total ray of sunshine:

Sweet & Gentle Soul – I have a calm, loving nature that makes me easy to adore.

Playful Pup – I love playing, exploring, and having fun with my siblings.

Cuddle Queen – Snuggles are one of my favorite things in the world.

Social Butterfly – I enjoy being around others and thrive on connection.

I’m pee pad trained and still learning all the puppy basics like leash walking and crate training. I’ve got a wonderful temperament—I can entertain myself when needed but also settle down quickly and relax. I’m curious about the world around me and excited to keep learning, especially with a family to guide me.

My dream home would include a yard where I can sniff, explore, and play, plus a loving family who wants a sweet companion for both cozy days at home and fun adventures. I’d also love a furry sibling to play with, but most of all, I just want to be part of the family.

My adoption fee is $550, this fee covers my first year of vaccinations, spay/neuter, and microchip. Do I sound like the dog for you? You can fill out an application to adopt me at http://www.thecantufoundation.org
