Hello, meet Athena! Athena is a young American Bully / Pitbull mix with lots of personality and a big heart. At under a year old, she has been formally trained and knows commands “sit, stay, down, off, leave it, and no”. She is potty trained and loves all people, children, and animals. Athena is an active dog who loves being outside and would love a home with an owner who enjoys walking and staying active. We’re looking for a home for Athena where she can get plenty of exercise, attention, and affection. Additional Information: Health status: Healthy, up to date on vaccinations, and spayed. Explanation for rehoming: Due to a busy travel schedule, Athena’s family is rehoming her to make sure she gets the time, space, and one-on-one attention she deserves. Behavior: Kennel trained, gets along well with other dogs, cats, and children. If you are interested in giving Athena a loving home, message (xxx) xxx-xxxx with any questions!

She has started to be trained and can sit on comand, and can shake. She is very smart. She is also fixed, she does not get along w smaller dogs which is why we are trying to rehome her. Other than that, she is an amazing dog and would do great in a single dog family. She would love to get that kind of attention.

Story
Desperately need to find our dog a new home. We are moving into a camper and just cannot keep him. All my posts on rehomeing pages keep getting deleted. Odin is 5 years old. His birthday is Januray 2nd 2021. We have had him since 7 weeks old. He is intact and up to date on shots. He is great with kids, did well with our senior dog years ago before she passed and is fine with cats. He can be roudy but has never hurt anyone or another animal. He will come with a steel kennel, food, toys, leashes, treats etc. Anything we have for him will come with. He is house trained and kennel trained. Someone please help us. Shelter told us immediately they will put him down and we dont want that to happen but we cannot keep him.
