Not good with dogs, Not good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
We adopted Athena from a shelter last January, and she has grown into the sweetest girl—now a year and three months old. Athena loves nothing more than cuddling on the couch, keeping you warm in bed at night, and being close to her person. She enjoys long walks, car rides, and exploring new places with curiosity and excitement. We’ve made the difficult decision to rehome Athena because, despite over a year of trying, she and our other dog simply haven’t been able to coexist peacefully. Our greatest hope is to find her a forever home where she can be the only animal and receive all the love and attention she so happily gives in return. Athena truly is a wonderful girl with so much love to offer, and we know she will make someone incredibly happy. 🐾💛
