About Venus

Venus is just a month old, one of a litter born to a stray mom who was taken in by a kind family. Her background is a blend of whatever mom encountered, and she could have a dash of boxer mixed with her Labrador roots—not that it slows her down. Venus is all about exploring the world, testing her new paws, and tumbling over her littermates in play. She’s got a striking coat with black, white, and tan woven together, and her short fur shines in the sunlight when she’s outside chasing shadows. She’s good with kids, other dogs, and even cats, making her a social starter. Venus isn’t house trained yet, but she’s young, eager, and picks up new routines with just a little guidance. Born on April 11th, this makes her an Aries pup—expect a hint of that classic Aries spunk and bravery cropping up in playtime. If you’re looking for a playful, curious companion with a loving heart, Venus is waiting in Deming, NM for her next adventure. Click apply to start the adoption process.
