Meet Athena – The Perfect Mix of Spunk & Snuggles! Quick Facts: Name: Athena Breed: Corgi/Labrador Retriever Mix Age: 11 years Weight: 43 lbs House-Trained: Yes! Crate-Trained: Not needed—has excellent house manners Other Pets: Would prefer to be the only pet, but can coexist with calm dogs/cats Good with Kids: Best in a calm home without young children Energy Level: Medium—playful & loves walks but also a great nap buddy Special Needs: Athena likely has arthritis or dysplasia Why You’ll Love Athena: - A mix of Corgi’s spunky personality & Lab’s affectionate loyalty - Loves daily walks & exploring the yard—your new adventure buddy - Excellent house manners—no crate needed, no accidents - Super smart & knows her commands - Sweet, sensitive, and will form a deep bond with her people - Very low-maintenance & happy to relax by your side About Athena’s Breed Mix: Athena’s Corgi/Lab heritage makes her a delightful combo of energy, intelligence, and loyalty. Corgis are known for their high smarts and playful energy, while Labs are famously friendly, eager to please, and affectionate. Together, this mix brings you a fun-loving, sturdy, loyal pup who’s as happy chasing after a ball as she is snoozing at your feet. Athena’s Story & Personality: Athena is a big dog in a smaller body who still has lots of playful zest despite being a senior! She’s had a rough journey—twice surrendered through no fault of her own when her families moved—and now she’s looking for a forever home that’s truly forever. Athena can be a bit anxious with new people and unfamiliar places, but with patience, love, and a few tasty treats, she’ll warm up and shower you with loyalty and affection. She thrives in a calm, predictable environment and loves routine. Once she bonds, she’s the kind of dog who will be your devoted best friend. Athena’s Perfect Home: A calm, stable household, ideally no other pets (or very laid-back ones), a fenced yard to enjoy the sunshine & sniff around, a home without stairs due to her mild arthritis and someone who will cherish her & keep her safe forever. Ready to Make Athena Yours? Athena is spayed, up-to-date on all her shots, and ready to move in and love you endlessly.
