About VIOLET

Violet is a stunning 9-year-old, 90lb German Shepherd and Husky mix with a heart of gold. She's a gentle soul who speaks rather than barks, reserving her soft vocalizations for special moments like mealtime, which she absolutely adores. Violet has had two TPLO surgeries, so she prefers short, leisurely walks, but she still enjoys playing with her favorite squeaky toys in the yard. Her playful spirit shines through, especially when she's surrounded by the things she loves: treats, food, and squeaky balls. Violet is wonderfully social and carries herself with grace, getting along beautifully with other dogs and greeting people with friendly curiosity. Her personality is a lovely blend of curiosity, intelligence, and quiet affection. She’s also impeccably clean and fully house-trained, making her an easy and delightful companion.

Ideal Home

Violet would thrive in a quiet rural or suburban setting. She's comfortable around cows and horses, but cats and city life aren't her cup of tea. A secure, fully fenced yard would give her the outdoor space she's used to, and she'd love to share her days with another calm, balanced dog. Violet thrives in a mature household, preferably without young children, though older teens are just fine. She would be happiest with someone who works from home or is retired, someone who has time to share with her and is looking for a loyal companion.

Ongoing Health

Violet has had two TPLO surgeries. She is spayed, microchipped, and up to date on vaccinations.

Training & Support

Violet is house-trained and well-socialized with other dogs and farm animals. She prefers short, leisurely walks due to her past surgeries.
