Story
Meet Athena!Athena is a stunning 5-year-old Pit Bull mix with a gorgeous brindle and white coat and a heart ready to bond with her forever family. She’s spent some time at the shelter, but even short escapes for a walk or hike show her true personality—calm, affectionate, and wonderfully responsive once she gets a little energy out. Athena is dog selective, sometimes getting along with other dogs, so she’ll do best with careful introductions, but she thrives when she has the attention and patience of her people. Walks reset her stress level, cuddles are welcomed, and with the right home, she’s sure to settle in beautifully. Smart, loving, and ready for adventure or quiet moments alike, Athena is searching for a family to call her own and shower with love.
