Doberman Pinscher

This beautiful face belongs to a dog named Violet. Violet has had a rocky past but, we hope, a brighter future. She was dumped in the desert with a male pit bull when she was pregnant. A guy nearby began feeding both of the dogs but he couldn't keep them contained because he didn't have a secure fence. He asked us for help and we agreed to take her but the trick was catching her. She had to be fed some sedatives and a close eye was kept on her until she relaxed enough to be caught. She is spayed now and has been thru 2 foster homes but she is a tricky keeper. She is pretty close to feral and doesn't like a lot of people around. She is great with other dogs but will try to discipline them if they get too excited. It might be the "mommy" in her coming out. She is available for adoption but needs a seriously patient home. She has no idea how to properly interact with people. She has no idea how to except affection and will run away if she can. We think she will improve but may never be completely normal. She is currently in a foster home but the best place for her would be a permanent home where she can feel safe and comfortable.
