About Solstice

Solstice is a gentle and sensitive girl, found as a stray in New York, with a journey that started at a shelter where she was at risk.

She yearns for a calm and loving environment, where she can decompress at her own pace without pressure. A home that offers consistency and warmth is vital for her to blossom into the dog she is meant to be. Solstice has been altered, microchipped, and is up to date on vaccinations. For anyone who wants to help, there are transport options available within six hours of NYC—don’t let location be a barrier! Ready to welcome this sweet girl into your life?
