We gave her something simple: time, patience, safety, and the freedom to come out of her shell at her own pace.

And look at her now!

Violet is playful, affectionate, silly, and absolutely in love with her humans. She loves attention, loves being close to her people, and has become the happiest little shadow. If you're looking for a dog who will follow you around, celebrate when you walk into the room, and make you feel like the most important person in the world, Violet may be your girl.

She gets along well with other dogs but doesn't need them for companion. We also think she may be just fine with cats with the proper introduction.

Violet's transformation has been one of our favorite reminders of why rescue matters. The frightened little dog who once tried to make herself invisible is now showing everyone exactly who she was meant to be.

If you're looking for a playful, affectionate, people loving little companion who wants to be your best friend, pick Violet. We have a feeling she is going to love you right back with her whole heart.

Chewie is a lovable, mellow, and sweet little guy. He is housetrained, happily sleeps in his crate, and is an easygoing companion who would love nothing more than to be part of a family. He enjoys his daily walks and, despite his age, still loves to show off his playful side with some adorable zoomies in the backyard! While Chewie is dog friendly, he prefers to socialize with smaller dogs his size. He also tends to be more cautious with men and will need a slow introduction to men he doesn't know.

Chewie recently underwent extensive dental surgery. Because he had never received previous dental care, he unfortunately lost all of his teeth. But don’t let that worry you—Chewie doesn’t seem to know he’s missing a single tooth! He is happy, comfortable, and enjoys his meals. He will simply need to remain on a soft-food diet.

His bloodwork shows that he is in good health for his age, and he has completed his medical intake. Now all Chewie needs is someone to give him the love, comfort, and happily-ever-after he deserves.

If you’re looking for a sweet, gentle little companion who will be grateful for every bit of love you give him, Chewie may be your perfect match.

If you are interested in meeting Chewie, please first complete an adoption application on our website: www.greatpets.org.
