My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

This adorable little guy is Solomon, a 2 year old terrier/maltese mix that came to us from our Newark facility after he was picked up as a stray in the middle of the winter. Solomon had some issues when he arrived and we can't say we blame him. We don't know his background, whether or not her was mistreated, or whether he ever experienced love and kindness from people before. He was quite standoffish when he first arrived and did not trust us at all. After working with him for a little bit and gaining some of his trust, Solomon allowed us to handle him and he really does enjoy getting love and attention. Solomon is looking for a home with an experienced owner that will take the time to continue working with him and training him. Solomon needs someone that will not smother him at first, and let him take his time with getting to know you. Once he is comfortable with someone and trusts you, he will get cuddly, affectionate, and playful. He has a lot of trouble walking on a leash and will need some training still with that. Solomon gets along good with other dogs and likes cats too. He needs a quiet, commotion-free home and one without children. If you can offer Solomon that stable, loving home that he needs, please come in and meet our sweet boy. File#24539 3/18/15
