Meet Venus! Her first week in rescue was 24/7 hospital care on IV liquids, antibiotics, and pain medicine. Her diagnosis included several broken ribs (likely from humans kicking her). We have a strong inkling that Venus somehow escaped from the life of a bait dog for dog fighting which sadly is commonplace in our state. We will not post her original pictures when she was first rescued but if you are interested in adopting her we will gladly share those with you. Venus may be small, but her heart is huge. She’s a 1-year-old pocket pitbull with soft tan fur and the cutest short legs you’ve ever seen. She weighs 29 pounds now which just right for snuggles and will not get any larger. She may gain another 5 or so pounds, but she will always be small. She is currrently on the slow kill method of heartworm treatment. She gets along beautifully with other dogs and thrives in friendly canine company. Cats aren’t her thing, but she makes up for it with loyalty, affection, and the sweetest temperament. Venus is ready to brighten someone’s world. Could it be yours? Please message daphnekarl2@gmail.com if you are interested in adopting Venus! Venus is not a Jackson Friends of the Animal Shelter pup.
