🌞 Meet Solar – Sensitive, Smart & Seriously Ready for a Forever Home 🐾
Born: January 2025
Expected Adult Weight: 13–15 kg
Breed Guess: Border Collie x Kokoni x Retriever x Spaniel mix (aka: 100% good boy)
☀️ His Story:
Solar wasn’t born on a rooftop, but that’s exactly where life dropped him — quite literally. At just 3 months old, he and his siblings (yes, their names are Rooftop, Nimbus, and Tilea!) were abandoned on the roof of the Souda Shelter. 🚁 Not exactly the fairytale beginning.
Luckily, a loving foster family stepped in and gave him the chance to shine. Solar learned how to be part of a dog pack, interact with adult dogs, and begin trusting humans. Sadly, as foster space ran out, he had to return to the shelter. 💔
🧠 Personality Snapshot:
Solar is a thoughtful, gentle soul with a surprising talent for… organizing toys. (Yes, he actually stacks them.) He’s active, curious, and playful — but in a calm, balanced way. He’s the perfect mix of zoomies and zen.
🐾 Toy collector – loves gathering and arranging his treasures
🐕 Playful – enjoys running and wrestling with other dogs
🦋 Insect patrol expert – flies and cicadas, beware!
🛋️ Cuddler-in-training – bonds deeply once he trusts you
🐶 Dog- and people-friendly – and polite with cats, too
🧠 Submissive & observant – picks up on moods and cues
🛏️ Crate trained – sleeps quietly through the night
🔔 Alert but gentle – the watchdog that watches
Solar is still learning that the world isn’t so scary. A calm, structured home with loving guidance will help him blossom. He doesn’t do well with chaos or overstimulation — but give him quiet confidence and a bit of time, and he’ll reward you with his whole heart.
📏 Solar by the Numbers (adult estimate)::
• Expected adult weight: 13–15 kg
• Shoulder height: 46–48 cm
• Body length: 58–62 cm
• Chest: 52–55 cm
💛 What Solar Needs:
Solar is not looking for loud crowds or a busy social calendar. His dream home includes:
• A patient, kind human who gives him time to trust
• A calm and structured environment
• Maybe a friendly resident dog to help him feel at ease
• Definitely snacks, sniff walks, playtime, and affection
✨ Solar is ready to glow in the right home.
He may not be the flashiest dog at the shelter, but he’s deep, funny, loyal, and endlessly lovable. If you’re looking for a soulful companion who’s been through the roughest start and still chooses to love — Solar is your dog.

They were thrown over the fence of our shelter onto one of the roofs!
