My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

My name is Venus and I just turned one in May. I am a sleek black Lab but am anxious to gain a few pounds. I was rescued by a group outside Phoenix and then DLRR took me in, as I am a full-blooded Lab. Next my fosters (an older couple) rescued me from DLRR's kennel space and now I need one more save by a family with lots of love and patience. I am good with my foster brother but don't know about cats. I have been abused and am pretty frightened of the unknown but I am making GREAT progress and will make a wonderful pet for the right family. I am gentle, haven't yet barked or had an accident in the house. I sleep in my foster brother's crate, love being petted and am doing better every day on our walks. I now love to leap and run in the yard and have stopped hiding in the bushes. Gradually, I warm up to visitors once I am sure I can trust them.

If you are interested in this dog, please fill out an application at www.DLRRphoenix.org. Someone will call to schedule a home visit so you can become an approved adopter. Also, visit our wonderful Facebook page at www.facebook/desertlab. Thanks!
