12/21/2016 WEB MEMO
A volunteer writes: There’s cute…and then there’s VENUS! Oh my goodness! At least an inch of this little lady’s tongue is always hanging out of her mouth (really, it’s so cute it hurts). And her sweet, sweet personality means she only gets cuter the more time you spend with her! She’s curious about her surroundings, but even more delighted with the company on the other end of her leash. She’s been very easy to walk, seems housebroken, is usually very quiet, and already knows “sit.” She has had brief moments of bashfulness with me, but very quickly returns to being wiggly. When I sat down on the ground during a recent outing she jumped in my lap and then caught a bout of the zoomies that sent her hopping back and forth across my outstretched legs…adorable! Venus would love to be the center of your universe…please come meet this endearing sweetheart at Brooklyn ACC!
