About Solomon

Solomon, a Miniature Pinscher and Chihuahua mix, has his quirks and charms. He’s the kind of dog who likes to sing along with the radio—favorites include Michael Jackson and Drake—and watch the world go by from the window. Solomon is housebroken and not destructive; your socks and mail are safe. He really enjoys being outside, especially walks around the neighborhood or the park, but hates baths (he gets them anyway). Treats are a big motivator for him, particularly duck-wrapped sweet potatoes. Solomon’s favorite toys are stuffed animals like Lamb Chop or anything he can wrestle. Cuddling tops his list of priorities right after a good walk. He can get protective over his person and tends to growl at unfamiliar dogs or cats, so slow introductions are important. He also chases birds and barks at them in true little dog fashion. Because he needs time to adjust to children and other pets, he’s best suited as the only animal in an adult-only home, ideally with just one adult to bond with. Ready to meet your new best friend?
