How to Adopt Violet
Don’t let Violet’s time run out! Contact Jefferson County Animal Control Shelter in Monticello, FL or Ewenity Farm Herding Dog Haven immediately to save her.
Violet is a spirited Australian Cattle Dog (Heeler) currently at Jefferson County Animal Control Shelter in Monticello, FL. This sweet girl, who suffered neglect and an accidental bite incident (defending herself during a dog squabble, resulting in a broken ear), is running out of time and desperately needs a savior.
Violet’s Story
Removed from a neglectful situation, Violet’s happy nature shines through despite her past. A staff member who takes her home overnight describes her as a loving lady, though she’s terrified at the shelter. Her time is critical, and she needs an experienced adopter to give her the care she deserves.
Violet’s Personality
Violet is a unique Heeler with a big heart:
Sweet and Happy: Despite her rough start, she remains a joyful companion.
Dog-Friendly: Gets along with larger dogs but may try to herd smaller ones.
Kid-Friendly: Loves children but needs an understanding home.
Not Cat-Friendly: Prefers a home without cats.
Crate-Trained: Adjusts well to a crate, though housetraining status is unsure.
The Perfect Home for Violet
Violet needs an experienced adopter who understands the Heeler breed’s energy and herding instincts. A calm, patient home with larger dogs or kids (no cats) and a willingness to help her adjust from her shelter fears is ideal.
