Venus

My story

Venus is a sweet, smart mixed-breed rescue dog looking for her perfect match. She’s potty trained and does best in a quieter home away from overwhelming stimuli. At home she’s calm and loving — she bonds deeply, is great with toddlers, and coexists peacefully with cats. Once she opens up, she is a loyal and devoted companion. Outside, Venus is leash reactive and does best with an experienced owner who understands anxiety-driven behavior and is committed to training. She takes fluoxetine daily for anxiety and has a bite history, so a patient, knowledgeable adopter is essential. Venus is high energy and needs vigorous daily exercise and mental stimulation to be her best self. She loves treat-based scent games and training — she already knows sit, lay down, and her name, and she’s eager to keep learning. Venus is being rehomed with love by an owner whose chronic illness makes it impossible to meet her needs. She deserves someone who can match her spirit and help her truly flourish.
