Story
Meet Athena 💕🐾
Athena is an 18-month-old, 59-pound bundle of sweetness, energy, and adventure looking for her forever home.
Athena’s Story
Athena was found wandering alone in a shopping mall parking lot. A foster’s daughter began feeding her and sharing posts about her, hoping someone would step up to help. Sadly, nobody did — so Athena was given the chance she deserved, and she has been safe with her foster family since August 23, 2026.
Now, she’s ready to find a family of her own.
What She’s Like:
Athena is sweet, smart, playful, and incredibly entertaining. She absolutely loves having fun and is happiest when she has people, dogs, toys, and adventures around her.
She is an active girl who loves to play with other dogs. In fact, she loves them so much that we strongly recommend a home with another active, energetic dog or regular access to doggy daycare or playtime with canine friends.
Athena also loves her toys and is a very smart girl who enjoys staying busy.
She is very much a water dog and would love a family who enjoys exploring — especially oceans, lakes, and anywhere she can experience a new adventure. 🌊
She also loves riding in the car, making her an excellent potential companion for long drives, road trips, and exploring new places together. 🚗🐾
Athena’s Home Skills
• 🏡 House-trained: Yes
• 🐾 Crate-trained: Yes — she sleeps comfortably in a 42-inch crate
• 🚗 Car-trained: Yes, and she loves riding in the car
• 🐶 Dogs: Absolutely loves other dogs
• 👧 Children: Yes, she loves kids
• 🐱 Cats: Curious about cats and would need appropriate introductions and supervision
• ⚡ Energy level: Active
Her Ideal Home
Athena would thrive with active owners who want a dog to be part of their adventures. A home with another energetic, playful dog would be ideal for her, or a family able to provide regular opportunities for her to socialize and play with other dogs.
She would be a wonderful match for someone who enjoys being outdoors, taking road trips, exploring new places, playing with their dog, and making plenty of memories together.
Athena has already had a difficult start, but you would never know it from the joyful, loving dog she is today. She is ready for someone to finally choose her — and give her the forever home she deserves. ❤️
Athena is ready for her next adventure. Could that adventure be with you?
