My story

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

Aptly named, Venus embodies the goddess of love and beauty. Soft and sleek, her midnight black coat keeps her shrouded in quiet mystery. Venus is a sensitive, intuitive, curious, intelligent girl, and would thrive in a peaceful home with humans with a similar temperament. When Venus emerges from the shadows, you can find her bird-watching, lounging on the couch, or reading her favorite books (Roman mythology, of course!). If you'd like to welcome a divine presence into your home, please schedule a time to meet her!

This animal is currently in a foster home! To connect with their foster and schedule a meet-and-greet, email us at adopt@morrisanimalrefuge.org.

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

When you adopt an animal, you’re not just saving the life of the animal you adopted. You’re also opening up space for the next animal in need. Our goal at the Morris Animal Refuge is to approach the adoption process holistically to make the best matches for our adopters and for our animals.

We are no longer requiring appointments or pre-approvals to adopt! Visit our shelter (1242 Lombard St) or PetSmart Adoption Center (2360 Oregon Ave.) during the following hours to adopt your new best friend. We will process your information at the time of adoption and in most cases your animal can go home with you on the same day.

1242 Lombard St. Shelter Adoption Hours:
Tuesday, Friday, and Saturday: 11-4
Wednesday: 11-7

2360 Oregon Ave. Adoption Hours*
Monday, Wednesday, Friday-Sunday: 12-3
Tuesday and Thursday: 6-8:30
*Please keep in mind that this center is staffed by volunteers, so hours are subject to occasional change based on volunteer availability

We strongly recommend any animals adopted from us to see a veterinarian for a post-adoption check-up and to establish care.
