Meet Violet, a 6 yr old, 12 lb, ShihChon "Shih Tzu / Bichon Friese Mix" that was rescued from a breeder. She along with the other dogs rescued from the breeder were in such bad condition with matted hair, they were all shaved down. So the new hair is all growing back in.

She is truly a sweetheart and Loves to sit on your lap.

She needs to have a secured fenced yard; she's not leash trained. She gets along with all the little dogs in the foster home that are her size and would probably like to have a buddy in her forever home!

Not sure about little kids around her since she can be skittish with a lot of noise/chaos in the house.

She potties in the yard but still occasionally has accidents inside.

Violet would love to find a family to love and who will love her back!
