Violet - Giant Schnauzer and Australian Cattle Dog Blue Heeler Dog for Adoption in Longview, Texas

Violet Has a Quick Question: Are You Using That Lap?

No? Perfect. She’ll take it.

Violet is such a love. That’s really the best way to describe her. She loves people, she loves kids, she loves other dogs, and she is always very interested in any affection that may currently be available.

Honestly, if you have two functioning hands and neither one is petting Violet, she may have some questions about your decision-making.

She’s playful and loves romping around with her pup friends, but Violet understands something a lot of puppies have yet to grasp: you do not have to be doing something at all times.

When the fun is over, this girl can nap like she’s paying the bills. Lights out. Do not disturb. Violet has apparently worked a double.

Then she wakes up, stretches, and gets right back to the important stuff: playing with her friends, loving on her people, and making herself available for kisses.

She’s also scary smart. Violet pays attention, learns quickly, and genuinely wants to please. She has that wonderful little “Was that right? Did I do it? Are you proud of me?” quality that makes you want to tell her she’s a good girl approximately 47 times a day. And she is. Such a good girl.

Violet would love a pup sibling to play with and would be thrilled to have kids in her life. But mostly, she’s looking for people who want a dog woven right into the middle of their family—because Violet has absolutely no intention of being somebody’s background character.

She’s going to be in the cuddles.
She’s going to be in the family photos.
She’s going to be on the couch.
Your lap situation has already been addressed.

We’d love to give you some dramatic sales pitch here, but Violet has made that difficult. She’s smart. She’s funny. She’s playful. She’s wonderful with dogs and kids. And she is just such a love.

Somebody is going to adopt her and wonder how they got this lucky.

Meanwhile, we’ll be over here wondering why we ever told anybody she was available.

The Truth About Rescue:

Every rescue pup is a work in progress and thats the beauty of it. None of them come wrapped in a bow, ready-made or mistake-free. They come with stories, quirks, and hearts that have seen a lot but still choose to trust again.

Adoption isnt about perfection; its about presence. Showing up for them, every day, until they know theyre finally home. Thats when youll see them bloom soft and steady into the very best version of themselves. And somewhere along the way, youll realize they were never the only one being rescued.

What Is a Benefactor Dog or Puppy, and Why Is the Adoption Fee Higher?

Benefactor dogs and puppies are typically purebreds or high-demand rescues who tend to find homes quicklyeven with a higher adoption fee. These dogs play a special role in our mission.

Their increased fees help cover the costs for dogs who need much more time, care, and resources before theyre ready for adoption. Some dogs spend monthseven over a yearin our care, requiring expensive surgeries, heartworm treatment, behavioral training, or ongoing medical support.

By adopting a Benefactor dog, you're not only giving them a loving homeyoure also helping to fund the second chance of another dog still waiting for theirs. Its a meaningful way to make a difference beyond just one life.

Once we have received your application, we will review and reach out to set-up an interview with one of our volunteers! If you have additional questions, please email us at SaintMuttsInquiries@gmail.com.

Note: As with all of our rescues, we recommend homes with children 10 years and over to ensure the best fit for both the pets and families involved.
