tered 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 safely recovered. During that time, we learned she is very street smart and an impressive digger. Because of this, Venus will need a home committed to keeping her safe. She should never be left unattended in a backyard, and her future family should use baby gates, crates, and extra caution when entering or exiting the home to prevent escapes. Venus would thrive with a patient family willing to give her structure, consistency, and security while she continues learning what it means to truly be safe and loved. If you are interested in meeting Venus, please head over to .labradorsandfriends to fill out an application. Venus is located in Southern California.

  1. Do your research - find out what types of dogs would be a good fit for your lifestyle and the activity level of your family. Also keep in mind the grooming needs of certain breeds that might require frequent maintenance.
  2. Decide what you can handle - before you get sucked in by all the adorable puppy eyes you're about to see, think long and hard about the appropriate age dog for your family or if you are capable of caring for a special needs dog. Puppies are a lot of work, if you don't have time for potty training and obedience classes you'll want to consider an older dog. There are plenty of middle aged, vibrant dogs up for adoption as well as many senior dogs that would be a great fit for a family looking for a more subdued dog with lots of love to give.
  3. Learn about the shelters and their adoption policies - It might be easier to start looking at shelters within a certain radius of home but don't be afraid to venture out to other states as well. Many states have larger populations of adoptable dogs and their shelters are willing to transport pets to suitable adopting families. Some shelters might have requirements for a home visit, a fenced yard or require you to visit the pet multiple times before you commit to adopting. Understand that the shelters are doing their best to place the pets in suitable homes and these requirements are in the best interest of both you and the pet
  4. Start looking… - Once you know what you're looking for and what to expect you can start your search through thousands of adoptable dogs. PuppyFinder allows you to search by age, breed, location and gender.
  5. Meet in person. - Whenever possible it is best to meet the animal in person before agreeing to bring them into your life. Even though photos and descriptions can tell you a bit about a dog, you can't get a true feeling for the animal until you are able to interact with them and make sure they are a good fit for your entire family, including other pets.
