My name is Venus!

Meet Venus, the sweetest girl you'll ever encounter! This lovable snuggle-bug is a true survivor, deserving of a patient, kind human who will shower her with the love and safety she craves after a difficult past.

Venus is a professional cuddler, always eager to be by your side, whether it's resting her snout on your face after a gentle lean-in kiss, or cozying up at your feet while you work. Her nights are spent soundly in her crate, and mornings are for shared bed snuggles. She's a pro at crate-time when you're away, but honestly, she’d much rather be with you.

This playful pup has an adorable "bunny hop" when she runs, and loves a good game of fetch and "running zombie" in the yard. She’s also quite the independent player with her stuffed toys. While her heart is pure gold, she does have some quirks: a little counter-surfing, an enthusiastic leash pull, and being a bit mouthy and rough during play – both with humans and canine pals. These are small habits that, with a loving and understanding hand, can surely be managed.

Venus eats from a snuffle mat, enjoys two walks daily, and her devotion is unwavering. If you're ready to open your heart to a loyal companion who will adore you unconditionally and thrive with gentle guidance, Venus is waiting for her forever home!
