SCHEDULED FOR EUTHANASIA Hi, my name is BLUE VENUS ID#A4209592. I am a spayed female, blue and white American Pit Bull Terrier. The shelter staff think I am about 3 years old, and I have been at the shelter since February 1, 2019 (over a year). Sadly, I am set to be euthanized tomorrow. I am struggling in my kennel at the shelter, and it is not humane to keep me here. I have been in the shelter twice and was found both times as a stray....This time I need a stable loving home....This is my last chance.... Will you save my life? I hope someone can offer me a loving home this go round. I have not had any stability in my life. As far as getting along with other dogs, I did really good the first time I was in the shelter, and did Ok the second time also. I am good with kids. too. Because I was turned in twice,the shelter is requiring a Rescue to pull me. Here are the latest notes about Blue Venus: 6/4/2020 EVALUATION High arousal in the kennel. Reluctantly sat when queued.
