My story

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

Meet Athena!

Joined us in: August 2025

About Athena:
• A loving, affectionate girl who adores cuddling, attention, and being close to her people.
• High-energy and athletic — she loves running, jumping, zoomies, long walks, and outdoor adventures.
• Enjoys fetch, toys, car rides, and exploring the world by your side.
• Social, happy, and playful, with a big personality and lots of enthusiasm for life.
• A total sweetheart who loves giving kisses and showing affection.

Her perfect match:
• An active home that can keep up with her energy and zest for life.
• A fenced yard and plenty of space to run
• A home without other animals, where she can be the center of attention.
• A family that enjoys structure, routine, and positive reinforcement training.

Some extra facts about Athena:
• Has done well with a pre-teen child and enjoys active play, park adventures, and cozy cuddle time afterward.
• Food- and treat-motivated, making training fun and rewarding — she’s eager to learn and please.
• Knows several cues, including sit, down, off, stay, stop, no, and out.
• Fully house trained and settles nicely overnight, sleeping quietly and independently.
• Thrives with routine and clear leadership, which helps her feel confident and relaxed.
• Has allergies that are well managed with a special diet and medication as part of her regular care.
• Has uniquely positioned teeth that don’t slow her down one bit.

In short:
Athena is a beautiful, affectionate, and energetic girl with a loyal heart and a joyful spirit. In a loving, structured home where she can run, play, and feel secure, she’ll be an incredibly devoted companion and a true joy to have by your side.
