-Sol is a bit timid sometimes, as if he'd been hit before, but mostly
he is a happy big doofus. He is very affectionate and really wants to
please.
Sol
is a black Dane/Lab mix. He is all Dane except for some longer wavy fur
on his back and his bushier tail. His build and personality are all
Dane. We
were contacted by a former adopter of ours about Sol. They had gotten
him from someone who had adopted him from a California Dane rescue but
who was moving and couldn't keep Sol anymore. I am not sure why our
adopters had such problems with Sol, but they did. He was peeing in the
house all the time and was not responding well to their attempts to
correct him. They tried for a week with Sol and then they called me and
brought him up here. Since he was another rescue's dog, I called that
rescue and arranged to foster him for them until they had room for him.
Once he got here, we were so impressed by Sol that we offered to find
him a home and, given how overloaded they were, the rescue agreed. Sol
is sweet natured, gets along with all the other dogs, is well trained
and well mannered for the most part, and is a pleasure to have around.
We have not seen any of his potty issues, aside from one attempt to
mark furniture his fist day here. He can get scared, the way a dog who
has been severely punished will, but if you are calm and gentle with
him he will do whatever you ask of him most of the time. The only real
exception to that seems to be when he doesn't understand what you want.
He is a happy boy who seems to relish his new life here, and his joy is
infectious. He is just a really nice dog and a great companion. He
likes to sleep in bed with me, but will happily sleep in one of the dog
beds if I don't want him up with me. He particularly likes the Kuranda
in the closet as it gives him a nice safe "den" and he is surrounded by
things that smell of us. He has not shown any inclination to chew on
things, or any other bad behaviors. As I say he is just a really nice
dog.
We will post additional photos of Sol as time goes by, so check
back often.
