Athena, a 1-year-old Terrier mix, is a bundle of playful energy and affection! Weighing around 35 pounds, she was found with her siblings in the woods, a testament to her resilience and a reminder of the need for loving homes. Athena is a curious and spirited young dog who is blossoming with every day. She's caught up on her puppy stages and is eager to learn and engage with the world around her. Her zoomies are legendary, and her affectionate nature makes her a joy to be around. She's a smart pup who knows "sit," "down," "drop it," and "come," and with continued positive reinforcement, she'll continue to impress.
Ideal Home
Athena would thrive in an active home ready to provide her with daily exercise, mental enrichment, and plenty of appropriate chew toys. A family committed to continuing her training and socialization, while embracing her fun-loving spirit, will be a perfect match. Due to her strong play drive, a home without cats may be ideal, or one with a cat-savvy family prepared for slow introductions and clear boundaries.
Ongoing Health
Athena is a healthy young dog.
Training & Support
