Foster or Forever Home Wanted: Meet Venus! Venus’s story is one we hear far too often, and it’s heartbreaking. Venus entered the Hesperia shelter with a litter of puppies, doing her best to care for and protect them in a loud, overcrowded shelter environment. As usual, once the puppies were old enough, they quickly found homes… but Venus was left behind. With shelters overcrowded and adoptions slowing down, Venus quickly ran out of time. Being a black dog and no longer a puppy, she was repeatedly overlooked. Thankfully, one of the shelter volunteers reached out to us and let us know Venus was in danger. When we called to check on her status, we were told that if she wasn’t picked up that day, she would lose her life. Needless to say, we went into overdrive to make sure Venus made it out safely and got the second chance she deserved. Venus is dog friendly, cat friendly, and people friendly, though she can be a little shy at first while getting comfortable. She loves going for walks and soaking up attention from her people once she settles in. Venus is also incredibly smart and resourceful. After escaping her foster home, she survived on the run for an entire week before being…

In the rescue's own words, as they published it.
