Hi! My name's Violet. I've been told I'm "special," but I just think I'm a tiny girl with a big, brave heart! My life started out pretty scary - I was rescued from a bad situation, and that very same day I had my puppies. I was so nervous and confused... but then something wonderful happened. A super-sweet foster family took me in and cared for me and my two babies. They helped me learn that people can be gentle and safe. After my puppies found their own homes, I moved to a new place - and that's where I met my very best friend, Otto! He's a big, handsome lab who helps me feel brave. I follow him everywhere! There's something important you should know about me: I'm still a shy girl, and being touched can feel scary to me. I don't like hands coming toward me too fast, and I need time - real time - to trust. I promise I'm trying, but I need a family with patience, understanding, and ideally some dog experience to help me continue blooming. If you want a gentle little companion who will adore you in her own quiet way, and you're willing to go slow and let me grow at my own pace, I might be your perfect Violet.
