My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

In Roman mythology, Venus was the goddess of love. That’s fitting - it’s hard not fall in love with this little chunky dunk!! This sweet girl is gentle, sensitive, and calm- an easy pup to spend time with and one who will bond with a patient person who will help her build trust. Here’s what volunteers have said:

“I adore Venus. She is shy in her kennel, but once leashed up walks beautifully and is calm and very polite on leash. I often take she and her kennelmate to a play yard. Venus is independent and explores the yard, but comes over when called and appreciates gentle pets and scrithes on her back. She is incredibly sweet and I think will blossom in a calm and loving home.”

Venus shares her kennel with another PACC pup and has been social and tolerant when meeting other dogs in playgroup. Please ask to meet Venus today!!
