Violet, this week’s Northern Chautauqua Canine Rescue Dog of the Week, is a German Shepherd who was rescued from a life of producing puppies for profit, and hoping to find a loving forever home where she can put her past behind her and begin soaking up all the care and kindness she had been missing before finding her way to an NCCR foster home. Read more about Violet and apply to adopt online at www.caninerescue.org. An approved application is needed to schedule a meet and greet, as she is in an off-site foster home. Visit the resident dogs at the shelter from 1 to 3 p.m. Monday through Saturday, no appointment needed, at 7540 N. Gale St., Westfield. For more information email adoptions@caninerescue.org.
