My story

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. **If you are interested in being considered for this dog, please be sure to complete an application directly on our website - not through a 3rd party service.*   Are you ready to add a four-legged friend to your family? Look no further than the paw-sitively precious Venus! This shy, 2-year-old pitbull mix is a sweet delight, just waiting to steal your heart. Venus may be a bit cautious around new faces and places, but once she warms up, this girl is a total "tail-wagging" machine! She's a pro on the leash, loves cruising in the car, and is even crate-trained – talk about a well-rounded pup. And with four canine companions already in her pack, she's learning how to control her fears and just be a dog. She is attending play group twice a week at a boarding facility and is learning to be around new dogs and humans.  Sure, it may take some time and treats for Venus to fully trust her new humans, but that's all part of the adventure, right? This active girl is looking for a family willing to give her the patience and space she needs to blossom. Just imagine the bond you'll build as you help this shy sweetie come out of her shell. She loves toys and cuddling on her foster parent’s laps at night. She is also a true pitty, as she likes to sunbathe belly side up for hours. So, what are you waiting for? Unleash your heart and consider meeting Venus today! This bundle of furry joy is sure to have you "howling" with happiness in no time. We know her perfect family is out there!   Venus’s adoption fee is $350 and includes her completed wellness visit, microchip and age appropriate vaccinations.     *HWMAR presents the information in these bios based on our foster observations and any information presented to us regarding prior living conditions, breed specifications. While we aim to be as accurate as possible, each animal is individual and their behaviors and personalities can change in different surroundings.  HWMAR holds no guarantees to personality, behavior or breed*   Please review our adoption process & complete an application on our website -  www.hoofwoofmeow.org/adoption   We adopt within 150 mile radius of Elgin, IL **We are a 100% volunteer rescue.  All of our dogs are in Foster Homes**Submission of an application does not guarantee adoption of any specific animal as they may have applications pending or might not be the right match for you**  Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.May 6, 2025, 8:47 pm

If you have any questions or would like to adopt Venus, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
