VENUS's Story

Meet Venus! This smart, independent girl is thriving in her home environment. She's housebroken, loves car rides, and delights in zooming around the yard before settling in for some alone time. Venus is strong on the leash but improving with consistency. She’s not prone to separation anxiety and enjoys her independence, making her a great companion for someone who appreciates a confident, self-sufficient dog. <br/><br/>Venus is dog-selective—she does have a few canine friends, but careful, slow introductions are a must. In the shelter, she did show reactivity toward other dogs, especially in close or stressful environments. She had been on medication to help manage her anxiety and has made progress in a calmer home setting without the anxiety medications. Venus also has a unique gait and occasionally bunny hops with her back legs, but she’s doing well now that she is out of the kennel environment. <br/><br/>Venus would do best as the only pet in a quiet, adult-only home with a secure yard. She's playful, affectionate on her terms, and has so much potential with the right structure and support. Venus is ready for her forever home—could it be with you?
