Violet Sky

Hello future family, my name is Violet Sky!

My foster mom calls me a tender gentle soul and I tend to agree. I'm a 1.5 years old cattle dog/hound mix and I'm 42 lbs.

I am friendly and excited to meet new people! I'm a little shy when something scares me. I'm learning to walk on this new thing called a leash, and I'm doing well! If we are in a place that I feel safe I'm great on a leash. If I'm a little more nervous I might lay down on the floor to hide.

I'm great with other dogs! I'm still figuring out how to play, but I'm very tolerant of any dog I meet! Once I'm comfortable, I'm friendly with other dogs. My foster's small reactive dog got spicy with me and I just ran away from her. I would thrive with a confident doggie friend who can show me the ropes. I could be an only dog too, but I will need a dedicated owner with a lot of patience and love to help me come out of my shell.

I can be a little stubborn, most of my life I didn't need to do what humans said. Because of that I don't always listen when they tell me to come to them, go sit somewhere etc. But if you put me on a leash I will usually comply.

I'm good with kids of all ages because I'm so calm. I'm not overly jumpy or hyper.

I would be down for a small adventure if you want and then I'm happy to lounge around in a quiet home while I build my confidence. I'm pretty moderate on the energy level if I need to be. I will follow your lead.

I'm house trained and have had no accidents in my foster home. I just need a routine to stick to!

I'm crate trained too! I'm not a big fan of entering my crate. I will go in with a high value treat but I'm a little hesitant. Once I'm in my crate I whine a little but stop after a few minutes.

The good news is I don't seem to be destructive at all! With a little practice I could likely be a free roaming house dog!

Another great thing about me? I'm not loud! I have a hound bark but I only bark when I'm actively playing with other dogs. I don't even bark at the door when the mailman comes!

I enjoy affection and pets from humans, I would enjoy just hanging out with you on the couch.
