Violet's Story...
Violet is limited to in-state adoptions only
High Energy, Great With Other Animals
Hi! My name is Violet! I am a 1.5 year old female American Eskimo. I was born in a puppy mill and was given to the rescue because I had a chronic sinus infection and I could not be sold to a pet store. The rescue found that I had a birth defect in my nasal passageways and I had to have reconstructive surgery so I could breathe normally. I am a VERY active girl that needs an active adopter. I love going for walks, going to the dog park, doing agility, and playing with other dogs. My dream home would be adopters that did a lot of hiking, had another active dog for me to play with, and a good sized yard to play in. Did I mention that I am an active girl? Not that I don’t enjoy a cuddle, but I am not much of a lap dog! I am spayed, up to date on vaccinations, heartworm negative, and come with a basic obedience class. My adoption fee is $250. Please visit www.softplacetoland.org to fill out our online application.

About Our Rescue Group...
A Soft Place To Land, Inc. was founded in 2010 by two dog lovers and best friends. We are a small foster home-based rescue, so we do not have a shelter facility. As former breeders of English Springer Spaniels, we realized there were too many dogs out there without homes - why breed more dogs?! So we decided to rescue retired breeders so they would not be euthanized. Our hope is that eventually, through awareness of the plight of puppy mill dogs, more people will choose to adopt a pet instead of purchasing a pet through a pet store - making puppy mills a thing of the past!
Donate to Our Rescue Group...
We have a "donate" button on our web site. We also have a wish list on Amazon.com. We always need cleaning items, old bedding, old towels, dog beds, gas cards, and just about anything else you can think of!

Dogs under 6 months of age - $350
Dog from 6 months to 8 years - $225 - $300
Dogs over 8 years - $100 - $225

We Serve the Following Cities, Towns, and/or Counties...
We prefer to adopt in the state of Colorado as our resources are limited and generally we are not able to perform home visits further away than 6 hours. The dogs we rescue are primarily retired commercial breeding dogs and we like to make sure the dog will be comfortable in your home before we complete the adoption. If the adopter lives further away, it is difficult to know how the dogs will react to the new environment. If there is a problem, we require that the dog be returned to the rescue to re-home and the distance to transport could be an issue. However, if you are willing to come meet the dog and are willing to send us pictures of your home, we will consider it. (In state applicants would be considered first if multiple applications were received on the same dog.)
