About Violet

Violet is a 1-year-old Morkie with a compassionate story. Found among a group of dogs dumped in a ditch, she arrived at the shelter with thousands of fleas and was anemic. Weighing in at 12.9 lbs, Violet is black and white and still learning what it means to be a loved pet. She's never had a leash on, so she needs a family that's patient and ready to show her the way. Currently, Violet has been spayed, vaccinated, and microchipped. She’s also on heartworm and flea prevention. After receiving a vet-ordered allergy shot for her skin, she’s on the mend. It's important to note that she has a grade 1 heart murmur, likely resulting from her previous condition. The vet believes it can correct itself as she gains strength. Violet does get along well with other dogs, making her a great addition to a loving home. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
