About Violet

Meet Violet! This sweet, gentle, and incredibly loving girl is the kind of dog who quietly steals your heart. She might be a little timid at first, but with a little patience, she blossoms into the most affectionate love bug. Once she feels safe, Violet wants nothing more than to be close to her people, soaking up affection and giving it right back – belly rubs are a favorite! She’s also very smart and eager to connect, making her a wonderful companion for someone willing to go at her pace. Violet was found living in a culvert, caring for her puppies, but despite her past, she has a gentle, loving spirit and is ready for a life full of comfort and safety. Born in January 2022, she is dog-friendly, house-trained, and crate-trained.

Ideal Home

Violet will thrive in a patient, understanding home that can help her continue to build confidence and show her how good life can be.

Ongoing Health

Violet is up-to-date on vaccinations, deworming, and has been microchipped. She has had a fecal analysis and a heartworm test. A health exam will be completed by a veterinarian within 10 days of adoption. She is current on flea and heartworm prevention.

Training & Support

Violet is house-trained and crate-trained.
