Venus is a smart, athletic, playful, and social Aussie/German Shepherd/Malinois mix who loves adventure, swimming, and dock diving. She is loyal, smiley, food-motivated, and enjoys learning new things while staying close to her people.

Venus was rescued as a stray with her mother and nine siblings after spending two weeks at Devore Animal Shelter in California. She will arrive in foster care on January 25, 2026, and will be available in the greater Seattle area after evaluation.

• Venus is dog-friendly and enjoys being near her people, though she is more of a close-by companion than a cuddly pup

Training & Support
