About Violet

Meet Violet, a charming bundle of joy at just 8 pounds! Small in size but big in personality, she’s a scruffy little sweetheart who may be shy initially. Give her a few days, and you’ll discover a loyal companion who brings a lot of character to your life. Violet blends playfulness with a laid-back attitude. She loves cuddling with her favorite humans and enjoys keeping watch from her perch on the back of the sofa. Once she chooses you, expect this little one to be your devoted shadow. Violet gets along well with other dogs, and while she lived harmoniously with cats before, she largely ignores them. A gentle soul, Violet can be a bit nervous around unfamiliar faces and young children. She’d thrive in a home with older kids where the atmosphere is calm, allowing her to feel secure. While she’s crate-trained and house-trained, she prefers close company over solitude in a crate. Leash training is still a work in progress, and her new family can help her gain confidence. Violet's ideal home provides cozy snuggles and patience as she adjusts. This delicate lady may need some time to warm up, but with love and understanding, you’ll find yourself with a devoted best friend. Could you be the right person for Violet? What are you waiting for?
