"This puppy looks a bit like a black Lab with the generously proportioned ears of a Bloodhound.
Shelter volunteers say her distinctive appearance is accompanied by a sweet character.
Apparently, Venus's previous human companion brought her to the shelter due to lack of time.
We can't really tell if Venus is likely to have a Bloodhound-like personality, but we'd advise her potential new family to be ready to provide plenty of exercise and training. With that kind of care, we predict Venus will be a gentle, loving companion.
To find out more about Venus (I.D. # A734512) contact the NYC Animal Care & Control at 212-788-4000. She may be gone by the time you call!"
