Beautiful Violet was overlooked day after day, week after week at the shelter while she was the best behaved and most friendly dog.  She was used to test all the other dogs at the shelter.  Violet waited and watched as the other dogs were adopted but she remained behind because she was “just another black dog. Then, Violet's serious hookworm infestation caused her rectum to prolapse, which put her on the list to be euthanized. We couldn’t watch that happen so we were able to take her into our rescue.  Violet has had her surgery and is doing excellent in her temporary medical foster home. She is 50 pounds and about a year old. If you would like to bring this beautiful girl into your family, submit an application to njshpetrescue.org .
