Venus's Story

Meet Venus – A Playful, Affectionate Girl with So Much Love to Give!<br/><br/>Location: Houston, TX (Transport Available)<br/><br/>Looking for a fun-loving, affectionate companion who will keep you smiling and happily curl up beside you after a day of adventures? Meet Venus, formerly known as Sheeva!<br/><br/>Venus is a beautiful, playful girl with a big personality and an even bigger heart. She absolutely loves being around her people, giving kisses, playing with other dogs, and snuggling on the couch. She's the perfect combination of energetic playmate and affectionate cuddle buddy!<br/><br/>Personality & Favorite Things<br/><br/>Venus is a sweet, confident girl who loves attention and companionship. She's always ready for some fun and especially enjoys wrestling and playing with her canine friends. She's often the one to get playtime started!<br/><br/>Although Venus has plenty of energy, she also knows how to settle down and relax. After a good play session, she's more than happy to curl up beside you on the couch and soak up all the affection she can get.<br/><br/>Venus is intelligent, eager to engage with her people, and has a wonderfully playful spirit. Once she feels comfortable, her loving personality truly shines.<br/><br/>Training & Home Life<br/><br/>Venus has made great progress in foster care and continues to work on her manners.<br/><br/>House Training: Doing well! Her only reported accidents were related to digestive upset, and she had no accidents once she was feeling better.<br/><br/>Leash Training: Walks fairly well but can pull when something interesting catches her attention.<br/><br/>Car Rides: May need encouragement getting into the vehicle, but rides well once inside.<br/><br/>Crate Training: Not individually crate trained. She has done well staying in a designated room and settles after a short adjustment period.<br/><br/>Energy Level: Moderate to high. Loves to play but settles down nicely afterward.<br/><br/>Household Manners: Can jump when excited and will benefit from continued positive reinforcement training.<br/><br/>Food Manners: Food motivated with no reported food aggression. May occasionally investigate countertops for snacks!<br/><br/>Venus responds well to redirection and will thrive with a family willing to continue helping her learn.<br/><br/>Other Dogs, Cats & Children<br/><br/>Venus enjoys the company of other dogs and has successfully lived with medium and large breeds. She loves having a canine playmate and has continued doing well with other dogs since spending time independently from Athena.<br/><br/>Although Venus and Athena are close, their foster family believes they may thrive in separate homes, allowing each girl to develop her own confidence and personality.<br/><br/>Venus could do well as an only dog or with a compatible canine companion who enjoys her playful energy. As always, proper introductions are important.<br/><br/>She has also been around dog-savvy cats. When the cats remained still, Venus would sniff them and move along. However, she may chase cats that run, so any feline introductions should be carefully supervised.<br/><br/>Venus has not been evaluated around children. Because of her size, strength, and tendency to jump when excited, a home with adults or older, dog-savvy children would be ideal.<br/><br/>Meeting New People<br/><br/>Venus is incredibly affectionate once she knows you, but she can be cautious around unfamiliar people.<br/><br/>She may bark or lunge while barking when meeting strangers, particularly men. However, once she realizes someone is safe, she settles down and happily welcomes attention.<br/><br/>A family willing to provide patient, gradual introductions will help Venus continue building confidence in new situations.<br/><br/>Medical Information<br/><br/>Venus has no known ongoing medical concerns reported by her foster family.<br/><br/>Venus's Ideal Forever Home<br/><br/>Venus would thrive with an active, loving family who understands her playful personality and can provide the structure and companionship she deserves.<br/><br/>Her ideal home would include:<br/><br/>Experience with large or giant breeds.<br/><br/>Regular exercise, playtime, and mental enrichment.<br/><br/>Continued positive reinforcement training and leash work.<br/><br/>A stable home with patient introductions to new people.<br/><br/>The opportunity to be an only dog or live with a compatible canine companion.<br/><br/>Adults or older, dog-savvy children.<br/><br/>Plenty of affection, couch cuddles, and quality time together!<br/><br/>Could Venus Be Your Perfect Match?<br/><br/>Venus is a wonderful girl with so much love to give. She's playful, affectionate, intelligent, and full of personality. She'll happily join you for an adventure, entertain you with her silly antics, and then curl up beside you for a well-deserved cuddle.<br/><br/>All Venus needs is a family who appreciates her enthusiasm, understands her needs, and is ready to give her the love and stability she deserves.<br/><br/>If you're looking for a fun-loving best friend who will fill your home with laughter, affection, and plenty of kisses, Venus might just be your girl!<br/><br/>Ready to Adopt Venus?<br/><br/>Adoption Application:<br/>https://form.jotform.com/51994996709176<br/><br/>Email: rescueme@srgdrr.org<br/><br/>Save Rocky the Great Dane Rescue & Rehab adopts nationwide, with transport options available.<br/><br/>View More Adoptable Dogs:<br/>https://saverockythegreatdane.org/adopt<br/><br/>All Important Links:<br/>https://linktr.ee/Srgdrr<br/><br/>Venus is ready for her happily ever after.

Team Rocky Enterprises, Inc.'s Adoption Policy
How Our Adoption Process Works Team Rocky Enterprises DBA Save Rocky the Great Dane Rescue and Rehab (SRGDRR) follows a thoughtful adoption process designed to ensure the best possible match for both our dogs and their future families. Our available dogs are posted on our website, Facebook page, and multiple adoption platforms, including Petfinder. Once you find a dog you’re interested in, the process includes: 1. Adoption Application – This helps us learn about you, your household, and what you’re looking for in a dog so we can make the best match. 2. Veterinary Reference Check – We verify that current or past pets have received appropriate veterinary care. First-time pet owners are welcome and encouraged to apply. 3. Phone Interview – This is a chance for us to talk with you about the dog you’re interested in, including personality, needs, medical history, and any quirks. It’s also your opportunity to ask questions about the dog and our rescue. 4. Home Check – We confirm that your home environment is safe and appropriate for the dog, whether that includes a fenced yard or a leash-walking setup. This is not a housekeeping inspection—just a safety check. Once all steps are completed and approved, you’ll sign an adoption contract and submit an adoption donation. From there, your new forever friend will be ready to head home! Why This Process Matters Our goal is to match each dog with a home that best meets their needs. Some dogs thrive with experienced owners, while others do best with someone who is home most of the day or understands specific behavioral or medical needs. Taking the time to get this right helps ensure lifelong, successful adoptions. Our Lifetime Commitment If at any point you are unable to keep your adopted dog, you must contact us. We will always take our dogs back. We never want them to end up in unsafe situations or shelters again. Our responsibility to each dog lasts for their lifetime. Thank you for choosing rescue and for considering adoption with SRGDRR.
