Sweet Venice deserves a loving forever home

Five-year-old Venice experienced a series of unfortunate life events that led her to the Mission Viejo Animal Services Center.  

Through no fault of her own, Venice, a Staffordshire-terrier mix, was passed around from home to home, all of which were ill-equipped to give her the beautiful life she deserves. Her former owner describes Venice as a friendly, mellow, independent, and quiet dog that loves car rides and walks.   

She has a sweet and gentle soul that will pull at your heartstrings. Venice is used to being alone for half the day and never has potty accidents inside the house.  She knows commands like “sit” and “stay” and does not jump up when greeting people.  She has lived with cats but can be picky about her dog friends. In all, Venice is a great dog.  

“Week after week, our staff and volunteers wonder why this lovely girl hasn’t landed her forever home,” said Animal Services Supervisor Brynn Lavison.  “Venice is as gentle as a lamb and has the perfect balance of playful and snuggly energy to make for the best companion.”
