Sol's Story

Sol ☀️ | ~2 years | 52 lbs | Shepherd-Husky Mix<br/><br/>Sol is the kind of dog who greets you with hugs and face kisses. She loves hard and she’s not shy about it.<br/><br/>She’s cheerful, smart, and deeply bonded to her people. Happiest when life has fresh air, a routine, and someone she can really trust. At home she’s calm and easygoing — potty trained, crate trained, knows her commands, and perfectly content to nap on the couch after a good walk. She recently completed a board and train program where she proved she can focus, walk politely on leash, and coexist calmly with dogs she doesn’t need to play with.<br/><br/>She was pulled from a high-kill shelter just in time, and she’s been quietly proving ever since that she was worth it.<br/><br/>What life with Sol looks like:<br/>——————————————————<br/>Hikes, sniff walks, trail adventures, and coming home to a dog who acts like you’ve been gone for a year even if it’s been ten minutes. She’s a loyal, loving, full-body-experience kind of dog. Give her exercise, consistency, and a person she can bond with, and she will give you everything she’s got.<br/><br/>Who she needs:<br/>———————————<br/>Someone who has owned or worked with German Shepherds, Huskies, Malamutes, or similar working breeds. Not because she’s difficult, but because her smarts and sensitivity shine brightest with someone who genuinely gets dogs like her. Someone active, someone who enjoys training as part of the bond, and someone who knows that the first days in a new home are a transition, not an audition.<br/><br/>If there’s another dog in the home, she does best with male Huskies or Husky/Shepherd/Malamute mixes, ages 1–5, who can match her energy. She plays rough and joyfully and needs a dog who can keep up.<br/><br/>A honest note:<br/>—————————-<br/>Sol will test boundaries during the adjustment period and may bark for attention while she finds her footing. She needs someone who can stay calm, hold the line with warmth, and give her the time to settle. She’s done it before and she’ll do it again. That’s not a warning, it’s just who she is in a new space, and the right person will know exactly what to do.<br/><br/>The right person for Sol isn’t looking for a perfect dog. They’re looking for the right one. If that’s you, we’d love to talk.<br/><br/>📩 Contact @PawesomeBaby to start the conversation.<br/><br/>📸 More photos & videos: Instagram @PawesomeBaby<br/><br/>—————————————————————————-<br/>Basic info:<br/>—————————————————————————-<br/><br/>• Age: approx 1.5 - 2 yr<br/>• Weighs 52 lb <br/>• Potty trained at foster home.<br/>• People friendly<br/>• Dog friendly<br/><br/>You will be adopting a dog who got the care listed below -<br/><br/>• Spay/neuter<br/>• Rabies, DHPP, Lepto, Bordetella vaccines<br/>• Either negative fecal test or dewormed<br/>• Wellness checkup, Heartworm, blood tests <br/>• Microchip registration with AKC reunited <br/>• Lots of tender loving care at amazing foster home!<br/>• Professional training help with leash walking<br/><br/>We are looking for adopters in Washington state or BC Canada. We may consider neighboring states AB or OR, if it’s a perfect match lifestyle and you are willing to drive.<br/>Please contact to schedule a meetup!<br/><br/>Her adoption fee is USD 400 (CAD 500). We charge an adoption fee for our precious dogs, to make sure they go to a good home who can afford caring for them as a family member. Dog ownership is a lifetime commitment of over 10-15 yrs.<br/><br/><br/>Training:<br/>—————-<br/>She is getting help with leash frustrated greeting seeing dogs on walks.<br/>We are working with trainers to guide her. We’ll share all the information you need to continue the routine her foster mom had been keeping. And connect you to the trainers Sol works with in both BC and WA.<br/><br/><br/>Training Resources:<br/>—————————————<br/><br/>Regardless of who you adopt, we recommend training your pup regularly, to build an everlasting bond with your pup and help them continue to be an amazing canine citizen.<br/><br/>We can provide a list of reputable trainers who use positive reinforcement methods to help you establish a training protocol and an everlasting bond with your newly adopted furbaby.<br/><br/>—————————————————————————-<br/>[IMPORTANT]<br/>—————————————————————————-<br/>Below listed requirements are for any dogs we adopt out, meant for everyone’s safety.<br/><br/>• If you have other dogs, then you must also be knowledgeable and have good hands on experience with running a multi-dog home to be able to adopt a dog from us. What’s expected of the adopter is just keeping basic house rules like (1) keep the dogs apart when feeding, monitor & put away left over food, (2) help them build mutual trust before leaving alone with treats, toys around (3) keep dogs out of kitchen when handling food etc<br/><br/>• As with any dog, earn their trust around food handling. This is an essential training for every dog, so they learn to trust their new human. It takes only a couple of practice sessions around meal time with most dogs with no history of food guarding. Teaching to sit, then hand-feeding food & high value treats is one of the best ways to earn trust.<br/><br/>• If you have children at home, they should be at least 8+ yrs, and know to safely & respectfully interact with dogs, to be considered for adoption. We think families with younger children will likely not have the time needed to exercise and nourish a new dog. And the time needed to train little kids to safely interact with dogs, read their body language & respect their personal space. Most dogs do not enjoy little ones clinging to them, pulling their fur, crawling or lying on them. We do not want to risk the safety of neither your child nor our dog. Follow @dogmeets_baby trainer on Instagram to learn more on this topic :-)<br/>Of course, we understand there are exceptions and some parents are on top with this. Please contact us if you are one of those exceptional parents :)<br/><br/>• We discourage the use of choke, pinch, prong collars on our dogs. Training to walk on a well fitted no-pull harness is encouraged. All our dogs come with a “no-pull” harness.<br/>If needed for training, you can use humane collars like regular buckle collars, martingale collars or ‘gentle leader’.<br/><br/>For adoption process details, check out PawesomeBaby.com and send us a message here.<br/>Thank you for considering to adopt a husky in need.<br/><br/>God bless!

PawesomeBaby's Adoption Policy
1. Basic Questions on family/lifestyle/experience with dogs. For the huskies, we do look for a home that can understand and work with their unique personality (desire to wander, urge to pull and run, easily bored, have their own mind, stubborn - “what is in it for me” attitude, not very patient with children, to name a few). 2. Meet and Greet with adopter and adopter's pets. There may be additional video calls. 3. Adoption application completion. It will be emailed to you. 4. Reference Check calls (friends, veterinarian) 5. Multiple Meet and Greets if needed. 6. If we decide it’s a good match, then the next step is to sign the Adoption contract. With a 3 week trial period to ensure it’s the right home. Please note, we accept multiple applications for a dog, and try to select the best match. We do not rush adoptions.
