About Violet

Violet is a delightful 3-year-old shih tzu/poodle mix who found herself at the shelter when her previous owner could no longer care for her. This sweet girl thrives on attention and would appreciate a home that is ready to shower her with affection. With her soft, curly coat, she requires regular grooming to prevent matting. She has shown great compatibility with other dogs and even passed her cat test with flying colors. While Violet hasn’t been around young children, a home with older kids would suit her best, allowing her to settle in comfortably. Spayed, vaccinated, dewormed, and microchipped, Violet is ready for a loving forever home. She is eager to find that special place where she can truly belong.
