My story

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

Meet Violet 💜
Just 1 year old, this sweet girl has already faced more than most. She was found wandering as a stray, unsure of what the future held, and soon after arriving, we discovered she was expecting puppies. With incredible strength and grace, Violet gave birth in our care and raised her little ones with all the love in the world. Her puppies are thriving, and now it’s finally Violet’s turn to be the one cared for and adored.

Violet’s brave spirit shines through in everything she does. She’s affectionate, soft-natured, and seems to know just how to melt into your side for comfort. Despite her young age, she carries herself with the sweetness of an old soul and the resilience of a survivor.

What Violet is looking for now is a family who will show her that she no longer has to fend for herself, a home where she can trade her days of uncertainty for a lifetime of love. If you’re searching for a loyal, gentle companion with a story as beautiful as her name, Violet just might be the one. 🐾💜

Come meet her at 2960 Shafto Road, Tinton Falls, NJ, 07753.
