About Viola
Viola is a 6-year-old Bichon Frise searching for a new beginning. She gets along with both dogs and cats, and she feels safest with at least one other dog in the home. Viola is shy with people, keeping her distance until she’s ready, but she’s quick to make friends with other animals. She likes to cuddle up with her canine pals and enjoys a good run around the yard. Potty training is solid and she willingly follows the other dogs in and out. Because she gets startled easily and is prone to running away, a securely fenced yard is a must for her new family. Separation anxiety hits hard when separated from other dogs, but she settles if she’s left out with them. Viola is gradually learning confidence and her foster is helping her build trust with people, though she still prefers to stay close to her humans rather than being handled. Occasionally, she’ll get so close she can become a trip hazard, so her adopters need to be mindful. Grooming is a big deal: she needs professional grooming once a month and frequent brushing to keep her coat in shape. She’s good on the table for her groomer, but maintaining her look is a real investment. Viola needs a patient home committed to helping her continue her journey. Give them the home they have been waiting for. Apply today.
