Violet’s Star

Growing up in Germany as a single child, Inge Koch-Williams always had a very close bond with her dogs. She has been involved with rescuing dogs since she was 16 years old. After losing her chihuahua, Lilly, Koch-Williams was heartbroken, but she found the best medicine in Violet's Rescue. They needed each other.

Violet's Star reminds us that all dogs have a story and they all deserve a chance.

Inge Koch-Williams immigrated from Germany in 2006. She worked as an RN for 25 years. Here in California, she started Foster Care for Infants and she adopted two little girls, ages 5 and 8. Koch-Williams has one biological daughter, Ruth Koch, who lives in Germany and illustrated Violet's Star. In 2021, Koch-Williams lost her husband of 15 years to Covid-19.
