Meet the enchanting Violet! 🌟 This one-year-old shepherd mix, weighing in at about 40 pounds, has a heartwarming story that will tug at your heartstrings. Rescued by Stepping Stones, Violet was dealt a tough hand when she suffered injuries from being hit by a car earlier this year. With a lot of love and care—plus a subtle surgery that involved the removal of one of her toes—this brave little soul has blossomed and is now ready for a new chapter in her life! 💖 Violet is as sweet as they come; she doesn’t have a mean bone in her body! She thrives when playing with other furry friends and would absolutely love to find a home with another energetic dog or even a mini pack to romp around with. 🐕🐩 However, her delicate nature means that she can be very shy, especially around humans. It’s essential for her new family to be patient and willing to help her grow more confident in a nurturing environment. Though she’s friendly, Violet can sometimes be anxious when meeting new people. She tends to prefer the company of women and will likely bond more quickly with a calm female caretaker. Once she feels safe and secure, be prepared for some adorable kisses and the most loyal companionship you could ever ask for! 😘💕 Violet loves her playtime! Nothing gets her tail wagging more than a backyard play session with her doggy foster siblings! 🎾 Her enthusiasm for toys is unmatched, though she does munch through them pretty quickly—who can blame her? And to keep our precious girl safe, she’ll need a securely fenced-in backyard. Think 6ft high privacy fence! Violet adapts well to crate life and is hard at work on her potty training. She’s even figured out how to do her business on pads! 🎉 However, it’s crucial for her new family to have experience with shy dogs to support her continued socialization. In a nutshell, Violet is a bundle of love, ready to become your loyal companion. If you’re looking for a sweet soul to share your life with, she might just be the perfect match! 🌈 Adopters must live within a 45-mile radius of Winston-Salem.
