Meet Violet At just about 1 year old and 50 pounds, Violet is as sweet and gentle as her name suggests. This lovely girl has a soft, quiet nature and carries herself with a calm, ladylike charm that makes you fall for her instantly. Violet can be a little shy at first, but it doesn’t take long before her affectionate side shines through. She will gently crawl her way over to you, looking for love and reassurance, and once she feels safe, she absolutely melts into the attention. Of course, she still has that puppy charm and will get adorably excited to see her people, her tail wagging and happiness shining through. Even with those excited moments, she is generally a very well mannered dog who just wants to be close to the people she loves. She does well with easygoing dogs who match her gentle energy, making her a great companion for a calm canine friend. Violet is the kind of dog who doesn’t demand the spotlight but completely deserves it. She is simply looking for a peaceful home where she can feel safe, loved, and cherished. *Reminder* We are currently facilitating adoptions through appointment only.
