Story

Violet is a loving, people-oriented pup who came from Philly ACCT in July 2024 and has been an absolute cuddle bug ever since. She adores being close to her humans – her favorite things are going for walks and then curling up on your lap to relax. Unfortunately, Violet and my resident dog aren’t able to get along, so with a heavy heart I’m looking for a new home where Violet can truly thrive. Violet would do best in: A home where she is the only dog, With someone who loves hugs & snuggles, and has gentle structure, A person or family who enjoys spending time together. She is so deserving of a calm, loving environment where she can be the center of someone’s world and the recipient of lots of warmth and affection. I want to be sure we can get her there! While experienced owners are always welcome, Vi is very self-sufficient and easy. 📩 If you’re interested in meeting Violet or want to learn more about her, please send me a message!

She can be timid around new pups but once she gets comfortable, look out for that bulldog sass! Spaghetti is pushy. Her foster brother tirelessly tolerates her stealing toys and chews from his mouth, pushing him out of the way for pets from her foster mom, and endless paw punches and corn cobbing his jowls.

She’s a vet favorite and we can’t believe she hasn’t been scooped up yet. Spaghetti is crate and potty trained and does fine home alone. Spaghetti wants to be close to you whenever you are home so she will follow you around the house and try to cuddle at every opportunity. She loves to be outside and lay in a sun spots she is frequently caught snoozing on the front porch when the weather is nice. Spaghetti loves to wrestle and zoomie with her foster brother now that her legs are all better. They spend hours outside rolling in grass and exploring so a fenced yard is preferred.
