About Solstice

Meet Solstice, a Black Labrador Retriever and Shepherd mix with a heartwarming tale of growth and courage. When Solstice first joined us, the world felt vast and intimidating. But she's blossoming beautifully, gaining confidence with each passing day. Just recently, she embarked on her first PetSmart adventure, where she showed great determination, cautiously following her foster parent around the store. It’s a small victory that speaks volumes about her journey. As Solstice continues to develop, she’s improving her leash manners and is almost fully house trained. She’s friendly with other dogs and gets along well with cats too. Solstice is looking for a patient family who understands the importance of allowing her to explore the world at her own pace. In return, she'll offer love and loyalty in abundance. Solstice is spayed, microchipped, and up to date on her vaccinations. Click to start the adoption process.
