Athena, a spirited and affectionate Terrier mix, is approximately 1 year old and weighs around 35 pounds. She and her five siblings were found abandoned in the woods, a testament to their resilience and need for a loving forever home. Athena is a bundle of energy and personality, currently embracing all stages of puppyhood with enthusiasm. She's playful, curious, and loves to be involved in everything her humans are doing, often with delightful zoomies! With a little guidance, she's maturing beautifully and learning to navigate the world with confidence.
Ideal Home
Athena would thrive in an active household that can provide consistent physical exercise and mental stimulation. She needs plenty of appropriate chew toys and ongoing training to help her through her chewing phase. A home with other playful dogs would be wonderful, as she loves social interaction and is learning to read cues from her canine companions. While she enjoys interacting with dogs of all sizes, she has a particular fondness for smaller dogs. A home without cats may be ideal, as her strong play drive could be overwhelming for feline friends, though a cat-savvy home with slow introductions and clear boundaries might be workable.
Ongoing Health
Athena is spayed and up-to-date on vaccinations. She is a young, active dog, and as with any growing pup, continued monitoring of her health is recommended.
Training & Support
Athena is a smart cookie and already knows several commands, including sit, down, drop it, and come. She is eager to learn and will continue to flourish with positive reinforcement and ongoing training. She is currently learning about social boundaries with other dogs and is making great progress. Her people should be prepared to provide structure, consistency, and patience as she continues to mature and embrace her fun-loving puppy ways.
