My story

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

Hello new friends! I am so excited to meet you. My name is Athena, and boy have I been on quite the journey to find my way into your life. I came to Animal Aid after a lovely person from my past helped me escape a scary, unsafe living environment. I took some time to recover from open wounds on my body and gain a healthy amount of weight to be in the tip top shape I am now. I'm learning to love life through fun experiences and new pals. While I have previously lived with other dogs and cats, I'd really prefer to be an only pup and get showered in all the attention. New experiences can be stressful, so the security of being an only animal helps me stay relaxed and safe.

My favorite things are playing tug, chewing tough treats, chasing squirrels, and cuddling up to my favorite people. Lots of noise still stresses me out a bit, so apartment life might be a bit too chaotic for me. I'm great with kids (if they don't mind a goofy, energetic player). Despite some really tough traumas, I've impressed everyone with my resilience and love for new human besties. Any training needs will be 100% covered by Animal Aid, so don't hesitate to reach out if you'd like to start your journey with me and have a whole team to support you.

I'm allergic to chicken but otherwise in great health. I'm in a foster home, so please fill out an application at animalaidpdx.org to meet me!
