About Violet

Violet is an adorable one-year-old Shepherd mix who brings a whole lot of energy and charm. Weighing in at around 30 pounds, she thrives on playful interaction and loves being around her people. Ideally, she would enjoy a home with another younger dog to match her lively spirit or a very active family that can keep her engaged. Though she gets along well with her older dog foster sister, Violet would prefer a sibling that's closer to her age and energy level. Violet is affectionate and incredibly smart. She’s already learned to communicate when she needs to go outside, which is a testament to her quick learning. While she prefers the company of women, she can warm up to men with patience, especially if offered treats and praise. This lovely girl enjoys walks and fetch but does bark to alert and protect her humans. It's worth noting that she isn’t fond of being crated and needs a puppy-proofed space to explore safely. Violet is best suited for a home with older kids or teenagers, as she tends to be vocal around younger children. If you’re seeking a loving and playful companion, Violet is ready to meet you.
