In the shelter’s words

Meet Violet — a walking, wiggling burst of sunshine If happiness had a face, it would look a lot like Violet. This sweet, “smiling” girl has a way of lighting up every room (and backyard) she enters. She’s affectionate, social, and absolutely thrives on being part of whatever her people are doing. Violet is the kind of dog who greets life—and everyone in it—with enthusiasm. Whether it’s a neighborhood barbecue, a walk around the block, or just hanging out at home, she wants to be right by your side soaking it all in. She’s fantastic with people, happily approaching new friends for pets and attention, and she’s been a hit with kids and teens alike.On walks, Violet is a dream, strolling politely on a loose leash in her harness. Give her a yard and she’ll show off her signature zoomies, racing in joyful circles before settling down with a favorite chew toy. She sleeps soundly through the night, rides well in the car, and is eager to learn—she’s already shown she’s smart, treat-motivated, and quick to pick up new skills. She’s been playful and social with other dogs, enjoying friendly wrestling and chase games.At heart, Violet is all about connection. She leans in for hugs, asks for affection, and simply wants to be included. Her dream day? Walks, meeting new people, and being part of the fun—followed by chewing a toy and relaxing near her favorite humans (preferably while sneakily drooling over your snacks).Violet isn’t just a good dog—she’s a delight. She’s ready for a home where her joyful spirit is embraced and where she can continue to shine as the happy, loving companion she was meant to be.
