Meet Athena!

Today’s Featured Pet is Athena!

Athena, born straight from the head of Zeus, was the goddess of wisdom and practical skills. Our Athena very well may be the canine goddess of wisdom and practical skills, if you count sitting for a cookie a practical skill, or the wisdom of possessing a winning smile and affable personality. Athena knows that extroverts have more fun, and this social butterfly is never happier than when co-mingling with mere mortals. 8 month old Athena is lively but still loving, a temperament that would make her a good choice for a younger adventurous family or more mature active home.

She’s probably do well with kids as well as other dogs, as she has seemed eager to make canine friends during her stay with us! She walks well on a leash and settles nicely post-zoomies. Athena is such a sweet girl and ready to find that person that recognizes her for the goddess she is. The shelter has been a little stressful for her and she’s hoping her new family will come walking through the door today. Please spread the word and help us find them!
