Story
Hey everyone! I’m Violet, a 1 year old 12/18/24 Catahoula Leopard dog who is a “HIP HOP gal with a Zest for Life” just needing some direction and Love! At about 70# of soft short fur, gorgeous sky blue eyes and a pink and black spotted nose. My disposition is gentle, loving but initially shy. I DO want to love and trust so badly. Once I do trust, (as I do my foster mom) I am your shadow, pardner and loving companion who gives "nose jobs", nuggies your hand and grabs your sleeve in play as you pass bye (oh, so sweet when she does these things). I'm getting a LOT of socialization and exposure to the real world in my foster home, and guess what, I AM IMPROVING SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH! I got sent to “Doggie Boot Camp” for a crash course in doggie etiquette! Since moving in, I’ve been living and eating with “6” other doggies. They are teaching me the better things in life! “Go for Walks”, “Go for Rides”, “Play Catch Me if you Can”. “Frisbee” and TIME TO EAT! My palate has also been tempted with the likes of “Sweet Potatoes, Bananas, Animal Crackers, PEANUT BUTTER and Cool Whip”!!! I've been to PetSmart, Tractor Supply, Boiling Springs Lake and lots of other places. Each experience provides me opportunities to learn. Still crated at night and during a work day, I do enjoy my time out/about with my “Furry Four-leggeds”. We do eat and take treats side by side, NO AGRESSION from ANY OF US!! I’ve become “ONE OF THE TROUPS!" Actually, mom walks “5” of us at one time! That’s how good the TROUPS stay in formation! For safety a fenced yard OR an underground fence is appropriate for me pending room to run /play in the yard. I'm a very smart/quick learning gal. Having become a “Velcro Girl”, my foster mom is WHERE IT’S AT! But NOT WAY do I ever kiss her, my routine is to BUMP HER with my NOSE! Yes, Really!!! I give her a "NOSE JOB BUMB"! Note from the photo shots, I also helped Mom win a medal at Gulliver’s Run on 11/3/24. What a BLAST meeting other dogs, people and running the 5 K (3.1 mile) trail run that benefited dogs with cancer. Mom does NOT allow me to shy away, she pushes me into situations and that's the Key, NO SYMPATHY! Get out there and Learn by Experience. And, It's WORKING! I'm also taking Doggie Basic Classes for 7 weeks that started 2/23. Hoping to continue working on my shyness with people. Foster mom says I’m a “Soft Soul” waiting to live my best life. Although a BIG pup, I’m try to be gentle, I'm not crazy wild, but lovingly calm, have a “Soft Touch Mouth” and my “Beautiful Sky Blue" eyes reflect my outer and inner beauty still working to come out! So, that’s my scoop. I’m Violet a beautiful young girl with a lifetime of love to give! I'm ready and willing to be someone's BFF!
