Hi, my name is Violet! I’m a 5 year old Bichon Frisé: a small, curly-haired, French dog.    I’m dressed in pure white with loosely curled spirals and a thick, soft undercoat.  I was born in Korea and lived in a puppy mill, which I did NOT like! A rescue in Korea saved me from the puppy mill and gave me a temporary home.  Then Love & Second Chances asked me to come to the United States and I’m glad they did!  I even got my own Love and Second Chances ID tag, which I wear proudly.

I’m now living with my foster mom and dad, along with their senior dog and a foster sister.  I get along great with my foster humans, all the other dogs (preferring females) and even the human kids and adults that come to visit.  I sleep in my crate at night and am very happy when someone wakes up because then I get go potty and eat breakfast.  I haven’t mastered going outside to go potty all the time, but do well with piddle pads.  Because I’m a good girl, my foster parents trust me to be out of the crate while they are gone.  

I haven’t yet discovered the joy of toys, which I understand is not unusual for puppy mill dogs.  But I hear that I’ll soon find out how fun they are!  I just learned how to go up the stairs but going down is still on my to-do list.  

I’m as sweet and cuddly as can be, letting you rub my belly while I melt in your lap.  I enjoy meeting strangers and am not afraid of other dogs (if they are not real big and don’t charge at me).  I like to talk, but sometimes it sounds like growling.  I’m not mean, I’m just a big talker. 

I have nothing but time for naps and snuggles.  I’m looking for a BFF that will give me all the love and pampering I deserve.  If you want a new best friend, please fill out an application and tell me about yourself!  Maybe we’ll get to meet!  Or better yet, maybe you’re my forever family!
