Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Violet, 11 -12 months Female Boston Terrier/Basenji Mix
Violet is so quiet and well-behaved that she was passed over at another shelter, so now she is at Save A Dog and she will be much fought over, we hope. She has so many qualities that any dog adopter would want. She's quiet and sweet. Violet loves to play and run around like a typical pup. But this sweet girl is a lap dog at heart. She would be great with a family with older children or an active person. She is completely housebroken and loves car rides. She knows how to sit and is learning not to pull on the leash -- she can't pull hard as she's a little dog. She has a vivacious enthusiasm to discover what’s new and different around the corner. She is no “shrinking violet” and seems to befriend all people and animals (cats included). She gives everyone a sweet, friendly sniff and is immediately accepting. She would do well with an evenly match dog in the household and make an excellent candidate for dog parks. Violet sat in the TN shelter for several months, which is baffling to her foster family as they think she is a very special girl. Plus her white socks, brindle coloring and stand-up ears certainly get her noticed.
Please apply at www.saveadog.org if you are interested in meeting her. She is available after 3/20.
