Story

Hello, I`m Jarvis. I may be a senior, but I`m young at heart. My bark is my way of saying hello, but don`t worry, I`m quite mellow. I can be a bit timid, but once I warm up to you, you`ll see just how friendly and sweet I am. I`m a loyal companion, always ready to lend a paw or a comforting presence. I love nothing more than a good cuddle, and I promise to be the most gentle of companions. I`m looking for a forever home where I can share my love and loyalty. If you`re looking for a sweet, gentle, and loyal friend, I could be the one for you.

Story

Meet Quiet Violet! This girl doesn't bark, so if you need a loud guard dog, you'll have to look elsewhere. Violet actually "speaks" rather than barks, and only for mealtime. Violet is searching for her retirement home as she's around 8 years young now. She does well with short walks as she's had two TPLO surgeries, but it doesn't stop her from playing with squeaky balls in the yard! She is Miss Congeniality with other dogs and people alike. Treats, food and squeaky toys are all Violet's favourite things! She's also very clean and house trained. Violet's dreamhome wishlist: > A rural or suburban home. Violet is good with cows and horses, but not a fan of big city life. > A home with or without another balanced dog. > A mature home without young children (older teens okay). > Someone who works from home or is retired to ensure Violet gets enough "me" time. Hiring a dog walker or a family who work alternate hours would be other options. > Someone who wants a lifelong companion that will cherish Violet the way she'll cherish them! To Apply for Violet: Click on Adoption Application at www.doggytime.net.
