5/14/25-We have learned Violet will do best with another dog in her home to learn from & gain confidence from. She also needs a fenced yard. She is still learning to trust humans & gets very scared when stressed. Though she is not bad with kids, the extra activity & stress from kids around is rough on her anxiety. Violet’s very patient & quieter home will eventually come along where she can take her time to thrive.
5/4/25-Just a little update on Violet. Violet is progressing and doing well. I have noticed over the last couple days with her having a little more activity in the house. She is still very nervous which is to be expected as she has only been with me for a couple weeks. From the point that I picked her up until after her spay she has been back and forth to the vet quite a few times to get her healthy so I think but she’s a little untrusting and does not allow you to approach her to pick her up (no aggression just nervous). Also right now when you do try to pick her up and walk with her, she flails around and tries to get out of your arms. I think she may think that I’m trying to take her somewhere. However, if she’s laying down she will let you pet her and she does like to be near you. Violet will need a family who is very patient and understanding with her and her adjusting to life outside the breeder. We did have a couple accidents in the house which I think was due to the activity in the home and her being nervous. And of course it’s been raining for days on end too. Violet is a very special girl and will make somebody very happy.
5/3/25-Violet is doing great & is now ready to go home. She’s still a little skittish and scared which is to be expected but health-wise everything’s good. She actually was running around the yard yesterday. I thought I was doing a video but apparently I took pictures! Lol
4/29/25-Violet is really starting to open up now. She started howling yesterday. Lol
4/27/25-Violet is doing well and recovering from her spay. We did have a little setback a couple days after her spay but she is getting back on track now. She is finally eating well. I was trying to be fancy with her and give her canned food and different things on her kibble. But Violet is a basic girl and just likes her kibble. I do offer a little peanut butter in the bottom of her bowl just to entice her to eat. We are still battling with her UTI as she may need to go back to the vet for another dose of antibiotics. Violet is not a big fan of the crate so I do let her free range the house when I am at work and she does great. She still is a little skittish and scared and does not let you just approach her to grab her. You do have to move slow. Which is to be expected. Everything is new for her. Violet does go out side and comes back in on her home and when you whistle or call for her she does come. She’s such a sweet precious girl . More to come as I learn more about Violet.
4/26/25-Violet is such a good girl that I let her free range the house while I’m at work. She does not like the crate too much.
4/22/25-Violet is home from her spay and dental surgery. Still a little loopy, She will be resting for the rest of the day. She is still fighting a urinary tract infection with antibiotics. Soon she will be feeling better & able to go home.
4/21/26-Violet arrived on Thursday April 17th very scared but super sweet. When I received her she did come with severe infected ears. & a UTI which she is now on medication for. Violet has came a long way in the short time that she has been with me. We did have a couple accidents in the beginning but she has started to go outside and come back in on her own. She is doing great with her potty training and has not had any accidents in the house in a couple days. She is eating and drinking well . Violet is coming out of her shell. When Violet arrived she looked like a little sheep! I have since given her a haircut and it has changed her outcome tremendously. She has become vocal & had the zoomies. She’s starting to roam the yard and explore. She actually even got a little playful with my cat. Violet will be going for her spay tomorrow and she will be ready for her forever home after that.
4/20/25-Violet is also being treated for an ear infection & has at least 1 tooth to be extracted during her spay as it’s just hanging.
4/19/25-Poor thing has soooo much matted curly hair she looks like a sheep! I think the breeder must have shaved her head. I did order some pet clippers they’ll be in tomorrow so I will shave her down before her spay. I am sure she will feel much better soon.
4/18/25-I would like to introduce you to Violet. I picked her up last night. She’s very sweet but so scared right now. This poor girl. I already removed a huge pile of hair just from the bottom of her feet. I also got a quick vet visit today as she has a lot of discharge & I didn’t want her to suffer until the Monday checkup. The vet put her on antibiotics & will see how she is doing Monday. If the discharge is clearing up then she will still be spayed as planned next week.
04/17/25-Violet is a sweet 3 year old female miniature poodle. She came from a commercial breeder as they were just done breeding her. She arrived safely into rescue today thanks to her transport volunteers. Her pre-spay appointment is Monday 4/21 & her spay is the next day. Once she is spayed & we get to know her better she will be ready for her new home.
