Little Athena is a black beauty with velvety soft fur and perky ears. She could be a lab/shepherd mix, is 3 years old and around 50 lbs. When Little Athena arrived at the county shelter, she was in heartbreaking shape—likely used for breeding and then discarded. Scared and shut down, she curled up in her kennel, overwhelmed and unsure. She ended up on the euthanasia list—but fate had other plans. A kind foster stepped in just in time, and Little Athena's journey of healing began.
Fast forward six months, and Little Athena has blossomed in her foster home. She's still a little shy with new people, but once she feels safe, her gentle, affectionate nature shines. She lives with another dog and absolutely loves playing and roughhousing—her playful side is irresistible! Little Athena would likely thrive in a home with another dog to show her the ropes and share the fun.
She’s come a long way, but her journey isn’t over yet. Little Athena is looking for a calm, patient home where she can continue to grow in confidence and trust. With love and support, she will keep gaining confidence and be someone’s (yours?) loving and loyal companion.

To ensure we're meeting both pet and adopters' needs, we ask potential adopters to complete an Adoption Application (www.bit.ly/DH-Adoption) for caretakers to review. Once your application is approved, we will bring the adoptable pet to your home for a preliminary visit.
We are 100% donation-funded and our fees are equivalent to (or less than) the cost to fully vet a new dog yourself. Please expect an adoption fee of $300; some of our urgent or long-term dogs have discounted fees.
