Here's what the humans have to say about me:
12/05/25 19:54 Meet Violet, a 5 year old 48 pound female Pit Bull Mix. She is available for rescue or adoption with a waiver, and has been at the shelter since 7/29/25, additionally, she is being treated for Chronic Dermatitis. Violet is a gentle, sweet girl who shines around people. At a recent community event, she was calm and patient while toddlers and kids came up to pet her. Violet loves attention, enjoys being with people, and will gladly lean in for pets and belly rubs. With her loving personality and gentle nature, Violet would make a wonderful addition to a family looking for a kind, affectionate companion.
09/16/25 14:35 This dog has been in our care since 7/29/25 and could benefit from being out of the shelter. Placed on needs rescue.
10/07/25 13:17 What did we do on today’s adventure: Today I met a new friend! We walked all over a park and neighborhood. We saw people and dogs and big, colorful cars! That part was loud, but I was very brave and got lots of treats while my friend took my picture.
What should potential adopters know about me: Violet is a lovely, petite girl who rides beautifully in the car, walks nicely on leash, has interest in other dogs, but never barks or lunges, and gives the sweetest smooshy kisses! At 5 years old, she is the perfect age for a family who wants a dog with great energy but can also nap with the best!
Three words to describe me: Gentle, Happy, Lovely
09/12/25 13:15 Meet Violet: Violet is a gentle, sweet girl who shines around people—especially children. At a recent community event, she was calm and patient while toddlers and kids came up to pet her. She even took treats softly from little hands, showing just how gentle she truly is. Violet loves attention, enjoys being with people, and will gladly lean in for pets and belly rubs.She’s playful too—her curious side comes out on walks, and she may show interest in chasing squirrels, so a patient adopter willing to guide her through that would be a great match.With her loving personality and gentle nature, Violet would make a wonderful addition to a family looking for a kind, affectionate companion. Come meet her—you’ll fall in love right away!
