Solo

Solo got his name because he is truly flying solo in this world! But you can choose to think of it as a hero’s name (Han Solo) or short for Solomon, or as a fizzy drink if you prefer :-) Or you can rename him entirely! The reality is, this poor pooch is a man of mystery and came to us without a name or history. Our vet estimates he is between 7-10 years of age.
Solo is a Maltese mix – mainly white but with a little tan on his ears and back, which has been revealed since he got a sexy new haircut! Solo came with super long, dreadlocky hair but now that we can finally see the windows to his soul (his eyes!) we are enjoying getting to know his personality!
Solo is a devoted companion dog; he really wants to be with you all the time. He loves walks and pats and following his people around in general, plus a good snooze and scratch.
He does have a couple of challenges though – he needs to be an only pet as he’s not good with dogs or cats. He will need to be an on-leash dog so that he doesn’t get himself into trouble with bigger dogs! Typical small-dog-syndrome. Solo can also be very wary of strangers so care needs to be taken with introductions.
Solo has recently been desexed and vaccinated and had some rotten teeth removed - his breath is much better now!
Solo’s ideal home:
• No other pets
• No children
• Ideally someone who will be home most of the time. Solo’s main driver in life is companionship
• Walks every day – about half an hour does him nicely
• He is learning to sleep outside but would prefer to sleep inside
• Someone who will maintain his soft hair with regular grooming
• Someone who will commit to him, keep him safe, help him overcome some of his issues and not let him end up back at the pound, flying solo again.
Solo is available for a one-week trial to serious adopters only.
