My personality

My story

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

Venus is a 65lbs, 8-year-old, silly, kind, gentle shepherd / terrier mix to the best of our knowledge!

She walks beautifully on leash, is house and crate trained, and is gentle and playful with all dogs including very small dogs. She is medium to low energy, loves pets and is known to lean her head, and forms strong bonds with people and dogs once she gets past a brief moment of shyness from her former life as a shelter and back yard dog.

Venus is up to date on vaccines, spayed, and ready to be adopted to a home with another dog.
Venus came into the shelter with Zeus. Since their time in foster care, each have developed relationships with other dogs and have shown they can bond quite nicely without each other. They can be adopted together or separately, but each must go to a home with another dog.

Venus and Zeus have a fascinating backstory. They were surrendered to the shelter together as a bonded pair. They were so afraid they hid in the kennels for nearly a year until Zeus was cleared for euthanasia. They were ultimately saved 35 minutes before his deadline by a private party with the intent of rehoming them. Below is the story of their rescue from one of the volunteers who later became their foster. Venus and Zeus have since opened up in foster care and bonded with many people and dogs. They no longer need to stay together since they have shown the ability to adapt and bond with other dogs, however, if separated, each will need a second dog in their adoptive home.

More about this rescue

We are a group of volunteers and rescuers combining our skills to help fosters get a dog out of the shelter! The dogs in our program have begun house, crate, and leash training. Our fosters follow a handful of house rules. The transition to a new home is easiest for your dog when these structures are carried over for some time and privileges are gradually introduced. This helps minimize anxiety and behavioral issues.
