Story
Bureau of Dog Law Enforcement-Kennel License #2617Could she do well with kids? Yes, with children 16 years and older.Could she do well with other dogs? We believe she would do best as the only dog in the home.Has this dog lived with cats? Unknown. [The Lycoming County SPCA does not `cat test` dogs per the Association of Shelter Veterinarian`s Guidelines for Standards of Care in Animal Shelters.]---What volunteers have to say about this animal:Meet Athena - Strong. Loyal. Stuffed-Toy Obsessed.At 6 years old and 60-some pounds of solid Staffordshire sass and heart, Miss Athena isn`t just a dog-she`s a presence. You`ll find her daily patrolling the SPCA grounds like she owns the place, proud, poised, her favorite stuffy in tow (today: plush duck, tomorrow: who knows?). Carrying that toy gives her confidence-it`s part security blanket, part fashion statement.Athena is a true original: confident, expressive, and full of personality. She`ll roll belly-up for rubs once she knows you`ve earned it-but she`s also not afraid to set boundaries when it comes to her food, toys, or personal space. (You`ll want to brush up on your high-value trade game.)Athena`s Ideal Kingdom Includes:- No other pets-she`s the only queen of this castle- Older teens and adults who respect her quirks (age 16+ recommended)- A confident human who can help her channel her big-dog energy into play, structure, and connection- A yard, a trail, water to splash in, or a sidewalk to roam-this girl loves a walkShe may be wary at first, but once you`re in her circle, Athena becomes a loyal, affectionate, ear-rub-seeking shadow who thrives with her people. She`s brave, a bit stubborn, but always sincere.Athena is a one-of-a-kind companion for a one-of-a-kind adopter.She`s not here to entertain the masses-she`s here to find her person. Someone steady, intuitive, and willing to offer her the consistency and care she deserves after years of being overlooked.---Condensed Staff Assessment Notes: Athena is an enthusiastic girl who enjoys observing from a distance and is good at controlling her impulses around prey that stimulate her. She handles kennel procedures well, likes carrying toys, and needs to trade them to return. She’s easily startled but recovers quickly. Confident and selective about her likes and dislikes, she handles veterinary care well, especially with a lick mat. She shoul
