About this Dog
Meet Viola – A Gentle Soul With a Goofy Streak Viola is a beautiful young GSP who is equal parts sweet, curious, and delightfully goofy. She’s been blossoming in her foster home, showing off her loving nature, gentle energy, and a growing eagerness to explore the world. Whether she’s watching birds from the window, “helping” in the garden, or trotting alongside you on a walk, Viola is happiest when she’s near her people and soaking up the sounds and scents around her. Viola enjoys twice-daily walks, prefers dirt paths to sidewalks, and is at her best when she has access to open spaces and plenty of nature. She’s learning cues like “sit,” “stay,” and “come,” and she’s starting to understand fun tricks like “boop” (a gentle nose tap to your hand!). She has a soft spot for Kongs, antlers, and stuffies, and loves relaxing near the window or checking in on the neighborhood birds. When she’s feeling extra playful, she enjoys romping with her foster dog sibling, Maverick. Viola’s Ideal Forever HomeViola would thrive in a calm, active home with plenty of companionship, routine, and opportunities for daily exercise. She’d love a person or family who enjoys outdoor adventures and can include her in their day-to-day life. Another friendly dog in the home would be a bonus! Her foster describes her as a “sweetheart with a gentle soul”—a dog who’s coming out of her shell more each day. She’s observant, thoughtful, and loves learning how to be part of a family. What Makes Viola Special Smart & Willing to Learn – Already picking up new training cues and enjoying confidence-building games Adventurer at Heart – Loves nature walks, dirt trails, and helping with outdoor tasks Loyal Companion – Builds deep bonds and is happiest near her people Toy Lover – Enjoys Kongs, antlers, and soft toys for chewing and comfort Dog-Friendly – Gets along with other pups and enjoys gentle playtime Calm Energy – A mellow house presence who loves to observe the world Why You’ll Love ViolaViola is a pup with so much heart. Every day she grows more confident, more affectionate, and more curious. She’s the kind of dog who will quietly watch over you from the next room, then surprise you with a burst of goofy joy when you least expect it. With patience and love, Viola will reward her forever family with trust, loyalty, and a lifetime of companionship. If you’re ready to welcome a thoughtful, sweet, and deeply loving GSP into your life, Viola is ready to meet you. Submit your adoption questionnaire today and give Viola the happy home she deserves!

Adopt Viola and Receive Viola's Fund
Adopting a pet can be expensive, and we're trying to help by fundraising for each individual in need of adoption. After verifying the adoption, Viola's new family will receive the funds that their pet has raised.
$0.0 is Viola's current balance
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. If you adopted the Viola, thank you for providing a home and a loving family!
Please begin the process of claiming Viola's contribution here.
For adoptions in which nokillnetwork.org was the matchmaker and we have contact information for both parties, we make every effort to contact the adopting family. For adoptions that were not facilitated by nokillnetwork.org, we still encourage the adopting family to claim the contribution by submitting the necessary information.
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. The adopting family will be required to provide proof of adoption between 4-6 weeks after adoption. This is to ensure that the home is a good match and Viola was not returned. After we have verified the adoption, Viola’s balance will be sent to the adopting family. Our staff provides instructions and help throughout this process.
We want the Viola’s balance to go to the adopting family as a way to say thank you for providing a loving home and to help with pet care expenses. In the unfortunate event we cannot contact them and verify the adoption, Viola’s balance will remain in our general fund. This fund may be used to match contributions made to other adoptable pets, incentify other adoption-related actions, promote our mission, or support the operating expenses of nokillnetwork.org. If you would like to make a direct contribution to nokillnetwork.org to help us help other pets in need, you can go here. We appreciate your generosity and help!
