Athena is the perfect mix of adventure buddy and cuddle companion. She loves walks, keeping an eye out for rabbits and squirrels, but she's just as happy soaking up the sun, carrying around her favorite elephant toy, or napping near her people. This smart girl thrives on routine and is eager to learn. She already knows "sit," is working on "fetch" (mainly for peanut butter rewards), and gets adorably excited for meals, outdoor time, and all the little moments in between. Ice chips, chicken treats, belly rubs, and window watching rank high on her list of favorite things. Athena is athletic, affectionate, and deeply connected to her humans. She loves hard and stays close, offering comfort in ways that make her feel truly special. After helping bring joy back into her foster home during a difficult time, it's clear Athena has a gift—she doesn't just fill a home, she becomes part of your heart. Athena was born in December 2025.
