Violet

Violet is a one year-old shepherd mix who weighs around 40 pounds. She was rescued by Stepping Stones earlier this year after she was hit by a car that left her injured. She had significant damage to her foot along with some cognitive challenges. After months of rehabilitation, a surgery to remove one of her toes and a lot of TLC she is now ready for adoption. Violet has such a sweet demeanor and not a mean bone in her body. She absolutely adores playing with other playful dogs and would prefer a home that has either another super playful dog and/or pack of dogs. She is incredibly shy, and still working on building her confidence so having other dogs to show her the ropes is imperative. While she is extremely friendly, she often at times can be terrified of humans and will need an adoptive home that has patient and will continue to work with her socialization. She prefers women over men and will likely bond quicker with a female caretaker in a quiet setting. She is incredibly sweet and once she does build trust with you, she will give you kisses and be by your side. She has been around children and was fine, but we think she would do best in a home with no small children. Violet loves playing. Her favorite thing to do is playing in the backyard with her doggy foster siblings. She also really loves toys and for being such a small dog she sure can go through them quickly. She will need a very secured fenced in backyard to ensure her safety, and to make sure she cannot escape. Violet does well in her crate and has been continuing to work on her potty training skills. She also is pretty good about using the bathroom on pad. Because of her extremely shy nature, she will thrive best in a home that has experience with extremely shy dogs and will work on her continued socialization. She is so sweet and is going to make her adopter a perfect furry companion.
