Story
Vivacious Venus is looking for her forever family, and wants her new people to know these 10 things about her:
1. I am a Boerboel and I am about 4 years old.
2. My life before the rescue wasn’t the greatest. My previous owners abandoned me and my siblings at a rental property, and nobody came to feed us or give us water for weeks. Finally, a neighbor called animal control, and we all went to the shelter. I thought we were finally safe, but because of our size, nobody wanted to adopt us and we found ourselves on the euthanasia list. Our story would have ended there had somebody not contacted the Bullpen, who told us that we were welcome at the sanctuary!
3. Despite all that I’ve been through, I am a lovely lady that wants to form connections with people. I think I would do well in a home with children over 10, as long as they weren’t too loud or rambunctious and had some previous experience/training with big dogs.
4. I like other big dogs, but I can be very bossy. If my new home has lots of experience and knows how to properly integrate dogs, I think I could live with a large, submissive male. Otherwise, I should probably be the only dog in the household.
5. I haven’t had any interaction with cats, or with small or medium sized dogs, since coming to the Bullpen, so I can’t say for sure if I could live with them. To be on the safe side, it would probably be best if my forever family didn’t have these kinds of pets.
6. The words that best describe me are curious, protective, and playful.
7. My favorite thing to do are playing with toys, exploring the yard, and sunbathing.
8. I am housebroken and crate trained, and I am learning how to walk politely on a leash. I know basic obedience and I’ve already mastered the dog door!
9. I am fully vaccinated, spayed, and microchipped.
10. I am heartworm positive, but I have started treatment, and will come with all the medicine needed to complete it at my new home.
Ready to give Venus the forever home of her dreams? Fill out our Adoption Application, located at http://www.bullpenrescue.org under the 'work with us' tab.
We highly recommend that our potential adopters fill out an online application as soon as possible, as it greatly expedites the process of finding the right dog for your situation.
Our dogs are available for adoption nationwide but preference is given to adopters willing to do an in-person meeting. Please understand that our dogs are not adopted on a first-come, first-served basis, but rather we strive for a "perfect placement" so we know that they will not be failed again.
