Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Athena came to us with her 3 other sisters from a house where the conditions were terrible. They have several small dogs running around that are not taken care of. We asked to help as they were really in bad shape when we got them. They did want to keep 1, we could not talk them out of that one. I am afraid 2 days after us saving the 4 we got, the 1 they kept died. That is no surprise as these poor little puppies were loaded with worms and covered in fleas and ticks. Their little gums were so pale and they were not very active. A few days after some wormer, being bathed to get rid of the fleas and ticks and good food they were doing great. Then we hit another problem of them get mange so we had to treat them for that too. So Athena has not had a good start in life. That has not stopped her from being very sweet and loving. Not to mention being a little cutie too. She is about 10-12 weeks old and just over 3lbs. We think she will be well under 10lbs. She is not getting fixed till September 23rd as she is so small we want to make sure she is a bit bigger. So she can't leave till after that but we are taking applications on her.
