She’s super smart and super playful. She loves to go on runs, walks and hikes. She loves interacting with people and being social and still being that fearless protector around the house.

Story
This beautiful angel is Athena. She is a year old Cane Corso mix. She is vaccinated but not spayed. She knows her basic commands and is leash trained. She is not aggressive at all, she’s a very social and friendly dog. She’s very confident and calm I take her almost literally anywhere. She’s extremely good with children, other dogs and strangers. She is a little energetic but nothing too bad. She is healthy and strong and has no medical problems whatsoever. She loves to play fetch and go on walks and runs. She loves getting belly rubs and she loves to rest her head on your feet or legs when she’s relaxed. She just needs a loving home who will take her in and give her all the love and care she deserves. If you or anyone you know is interested please don’t hesitate to apply!

Story
We first acquired Niko on the last day of March in the year of 2024. A small puppy he was, cute and cuddly, only to become a strong and ardent guardian to his owners (still cute and cuddly!) His name first came about by means of a Japanese word that my mother had learned, meaning kindness and rainbow-hearted. I liked the name because it reminded me of Niko Bellic, the character you play as on one of the most best selling video game titles of 2008, Grand Theft Auto IV. Hence the name Niko was born. What adjectives would I use to describe Niko? Well, I'll first describe Niko with a noun: loyalty. Once he gets to know you, the pact is sealed. He'll be faithful wherever you are, wherever you go, wherever you've been. He'll be protective of you, kind and pleasant to be around. Very athletic he is, smart and a quick learner. I am looking for a forever home with lots of space for Niko to run around and wag his tail. He loves to jump and play fetch, run around and chew on bones and treats.
