About Violet

Violet is a lively young lady bursting with affection and energy. She may be a bit shy with strangers, particularly men, but she quickly warms up to people she knows. Good with other dogs and cats, she does have a playful side that can be a bit rough, so her playmates should be sturdy and tolerant. Violet isn't quite suited for households with small children due to her spirited nature. Though crate trained, she’ll need attention throughout the day to help with her house training and to manage her energy levels. A fenced yard would be a great asset for her playtime. Potential adopters should also think about training opportunities; Violet could shine as a sports dog or a hiking companion. Violet is spayed and her vaccinations are up to date. Her adoption fee is normally $450, but it is currently waived. A home visit and veterinary reference are required to ensure she finds the best match. Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
