My story

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

Athena is a sweet energetic dog that loves to be outside exploring just as much as she loves to cuddle up on the couch and get some snuggles. She loves getting pets, and being around her people. She is so gentle and patient and will make any family or person the perfect companion.
She does great with other dogs, and kids, but it might take cats a bit to warm up to how friendly and energetic she can be when she meets new friends. She`s fully potty trained, and is doing well with basic commands but will need a little reminder every once in a while. She is starting leash training and does really well, but will pull when she gets a little excited. A quick reminder and she is back to walking calmly. Because she is so energetic and active she would make the perfect running companion. When she is out for a run on leash she is so well behaved and focused and in her element. If you are looking for a sweet pup that loves a good cuddle but can still keep up with an active lifestyle then this is your girl
