My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Athena and Max – bonded pair

URGENT Foster/Home Needed – Rochester area/Long Island, NY

Meet Max and Athena. Max is a 7yr old male weighing about 60lbs. Athena is also 7yrs old, a female, weighing roughly 50lbs. These two sweethearts have been together their entire lives and, as you can imagine, are extremely bonded 💛 Sadly their prior owner has cancer and can no longer care for them. They are sweet, affectionate pups who love to play, they enjoy walks, and love to nap together. They are huge cuddle bugs. They love Nyla bones and hard chew toys. They should be the only pets in the house. They have a slight prey drive so small animals are a no. Both are sterilized and UTD on all. Due to their size, children under the age of 13yrs are not recommended.

If you have the room in your heart and your home for this pair of sweethearts, please
