Violet is a one-year-old Shepherd mix, weighing around 40 pounds, who was rescued earlier this year after being hit by a car. She sustained significant damage to her foot and some cognitive challenges. After months of rehabilitation, including surgery to remove one of her toes, and a lot of TLC, she is now ready for adoption! Violet has such a sweet demeanor and not a mean bone in her body. She absolutely adores playing with other playful dogs and would prefer a home that has another super playful dog and/or pack of dogs. She is incredibly shy and still working on building her confidence, so having other dogs to show her the ropes is imperative. While she is extremely friendly, she can often be terrified of humans and will need an adoptive home that is patient and will continue to work with her socialization. She prefers women over men and will likely bond quicker with a female caretaker in a quiet setting. She is incredibly sweet, and once she builds trust with you, she will give you kisses and be by your side. She has been around children and was fine, but we think she would do best in a home with no small children. Violet loves playing; her favorite thing to do is playing in the backyard with her doggy foster siblings. She also really loves toys, and for being such a small dog, she sure can go through them quickly! She will need a very secured 6ft privacy fenced-in backyard to ensure her safety and to make sure she cannot escape.

Training & Support
