My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Violet has been in THE RED DOG PROJECT prison rehabilitation program. That means fostering with inmate handlers and learning the basics of all around good behavior, potty training and interacting with other dogs.

Here is more information about me:
Violet is a goofy and playful 1 year old Staffordshire Bull Terrier/Lab mix! Violet, and her siblings Daisy and Norman are products of accidental breeding. The neighbors' dogs were not altered and they bred.

A note from her foster mom:
I cannot say enough about how much I love this little dog. She is smart, attentive, and eager to learn. She is sweet & playful, and loves the other dogs (She & Stella are the best of friends & playmates). She has made huge progress towards living peacefully with my cats (we still supervise pretty closely because she gets a little too excited for the kitty at times, but never behaves aggressively), and she has been super around the horses.

Violet & I have been working on Agility Foundations, and I really think she could make a great agility partner. I would love to see her go to a home that would pursue dog sports with her because I think it will be great for her and lots of fun for her person or people too.
Violet is shy meeting new people, so she will need someone willing to be patient and help her be comfortable during introductions to new people & places. Once she gets to know you, though, she loves her people and just wants to be with you.

GENERAL VETERINARY CARE:
I have been:
~ spayed/neutered
~ microchipped
~ dewormed
~ heart worm-tested negative if dog is of age to be tested ( 6 months or older)
~ up to date on all age appropriate shots
~ treated with a flea preventative

Violet has been seen by a Connecticut veterinarian and all medical records will come with the adoption papers as well as notes from Violet's dog handler.

ADOPTION FEES
Adoption fee is $385 and includes all vetting listed above.

ADOPTION PROCESS -
If you would like to begin the application process, please fill in the form at the link above and we will review your information, call your personal and well as vet references. PLEASE Fill in the application if you're interested in adoption. We hope you will understand the careful scrutiny of potential adopters is not only for the safety and well-being of the dog but also for a positive experience for your household. Thank you for saving the life of a shelter dog through adoption; you are truly a hero.
-- A letter from your vet on their letterhead will also be very helpful if they won't be open for us to call as a reference.
-- If you are renting, please note you must have a written letter of permission from your landlord to own a dog on their property.
-- If you have never owned a dog and therefore do not have a vet reference let us know right away and we'll try to do a home visit before the adoption. First time adopters need a quick home visit to make sure they are ready to take a dog home for the first time.

The Red Dog Project dogs will often visit area retailers for a Saturday or Sunday "debut", please email info@reddogproject.org if you would like to be on the mailing list for those events.

Thank you!
