About Violet

Meet Violet !! This girl needs a special adopter but you'll get the sweetest, loyal girl in return if you're willing to work with her on her shyness. We took Violet and her sister Veruca (posted separately) from a shelter where they had been for months. They were shut down and terrified. Once separated and into foster families they are really growing in confidence and learning how to trust. Despite the shy aspect they have done excellent with their manners and living indoors. Violet is an approx 8 month old female lab mix weighing 48 pounds. She will be spayed, microchipped and updated on vaccines as part of her adoption. Thankfully she is heartworm negative. This little girl LOVES to play. She's super fun once she opens up. She's shy with people but we know that break through is coming soon as she is just starting to embrace a real life. Violet is amazing with all dogs. Young or old, big or small she's fantastic with them. She does best with another dog to play with and to help her through her shy moments. She is not fostered with kids but would likely do well with calmer kids that can give her space at first. Once settled in she can be a jumper so she may knock over little ones. We are not sure how she would do with cats. She has done very well adjusting to indoor living. She is great in her crate and is not vocal in there. She is vocal when playing with other dogs. Despite her shyness with people she learned the foster home routine quickly. She has also had no potty accidents when crated and let out regularly. She does very well on car rides. She has had no trouble sharing food, treats or toys with other dogs or humans. Her biggest fear is the leash. She's terrified of it and will flail around or pancake when she feels the tension. We are working with her but it will take time. Due to this she has to go to a home with a fenced in yard. She happily exists around you but is still a bit fearful of someone reaching for her. She's never been aggressive and you can pick her up even when she's scared. Violet is a very active girl. Loves running and jumping and has tons of zoomies. She's so happy to be out of the shelter and have the ability to let loose and play. She loves to play 'floor is lava' and jump from couch to couch. She loves balls and being outside. She really loves having another dog to play with. She's not that perfect 'normal' dog most people want but if you're one of those special people that want to really rescue and save a dog then she might be the one. She's extremely sweet and we don't think it will take long before she puts her past behind her and fully trusts again. Vet and home checks required. Fenced Yard Required Located in Hampton VA.
