Violet *Arriving 9/12* D12330 - Chihuahua and Dachshund Dog for Adoption

Violet is an affectionate Texan gal on the hunt for her fresh start. Violet was previously loved and cared for by someone who sadly passed away. In her next chapter of life, she's hoping to find a home where she can settle in for the long haul. She is working on housetraining; she spends a lot of time outside currently so might need some help learning to cue her humans when it's time to potty. Violet doesn't do well with big dogs, but is otherwise said to do fine with dogs and cats. Violet would love a dog friend to pal around and play with, but she is also ready to soak up all your attention. After some time to adjust, Violet is ready to play or cuddle - dealer's choice! If Violet sounds like your type of gal, come meet her and see if it's a match.

Violet is from Texas. They arrive in Minnesota on 09/12/2026 and will need to be picked up from the Ruff Start Rescue office in Princeton, MN between the hours of 8:30 and 11:30am. Please plan for their arrival accordingly as we cannot accommodate pickups outside of this time frame. Since they haven't arrived yet, they are available exclusively through Ruff Start's Foster to Adopt (FTA) Program. Visit our Foster to Adopt Program page to learn more. Once they get to Minnesota, they might require further veterinary care. Ruff Start's veterinary suite is located in Princeton, MN, and, as the foster, you will be required to transport your dog to and from these vetting appointments.
