Dachshund / Staffordshire Bull Terrier / Mixed (Short Coat)
Description:
Violet is the epitome of adorable! Violet is about 3 months old and she is a loving girl who can't wait to be your new best friend! She is such a cutie whose happiest place is in your lap. When she's not cuddling, you can find her wrestling with her foster brother. Violet currently weighs about 8lbs. We estimate she will be around 40-50lbs when fully grown. Violet came to us with her 4 siblings. They were part of a larger litter that was found as strays with their mom and brought to a local shelter. The rest of the litter and their mom went to other rescues, but 4 of the babies came to us and have been doing great ever since. We were told their mom looked like a dachshund mix, but we suspect these kiddos may have some miniature Staffordshire terrier in their mix based on their looks and size. Violet's brothers have been adopted, so now it's this sweet girl's turn! Violet is the smallest of the group and is the most playful of the group. Her favorite activities include chewing on her siblings, making new friends, and finding a lap to cuddle in. She is such a goofy girl who would thrive with a family that wants a little buddy to cuddle with and take on adventures. She is a smart cookie and has already learned how to sit. Her new family will need to be committed to continuing her training to help her be the best girl she can be. She would be a great candidate for group training classes. Violet loves other dogs and has tried her hardest to get the older dogs in her foster home to be her BFFs. She would love to have another young, playful buddy in her new home, but she also could do well as an only dog with lots of socializing with friends. Violet has done well living with dogs-savvy cats. Violet has done well with kids and could make a wonderful addition to a family with kids 7 years or older. Violet is still in the process of house and crate training. She has been good about using pee pads and going outside, but her new family should expect accidents and be patient while she is learning. Violet has done well sleeping through the night in a pen with her siblings. She has never been truly alone, so would do best with a family who can slowly acclimate her to being home alone. Violet is such an awesome girl and she is going to bring so much fun to her new family. If you think that might just be you, submit an adoption application today! Violet's adoption fee is $350.
