About Solomon

Your new best friend is just one click away. Solomon is a delightful Min Pin and Chihuahua mix who brings plenty of character and love to those around him. Known for his unique talent — he loves music and even "sings" along to his favorite artists like Michael Jackson, Chris Brown, and Drake! Solomon is housebroken and enjoys people-watching from windows or the front door. His days are spent savoring outdoor time, whether it's a stroll in the park or a walk around the neighborhood. He has excellent manners and won’t chew up your belongings, and he's a big fan of treats (duck-wrapped sweet potato is his favorite!) and tussling with plush toys like Lamb Chop. Though Solomon is sweet and cuddly, baths are not his favorite activity — but he understands they’re part of staying clean. He tends to growl when he encounters dogs or cats and will bark at birds, so slow introductions are essential with other pets as well as with children. Due to his protective nature, Solomon would thrive best as the only pet in a calm, adult-only home, ideally bonding closely with one special person. If you're seeking a loving, entertaining companion, Solomon could be the perfect match. Make their next chapter their best one yet.
