Athena, a charming 1-year-old Terrier mix, is a bundle of playful energy and affectionate curiosity! Found abandoned in the woods with her siblings, Athena has blossomed beautifully in her foster home, showing remarkable maturity and a zest for life. She's a bright and engaging pup who loves to be involved in everything her humans are doing, complete with enthusiastic zoomies!
Ideal Home
Athena would thrive in an active household that can provide ample daily exercise and mental enrichment. She needs plenty of appropriate chew toys to satisfy her playful chewing phase and continued guidance to navigate typical puppy behaviors. She loves playing with other dogs and would likely enjoy a canine companion to share her adventures with. A home that understands and embraces puppy behavior, offering patience, consistency, and ongoing training and socialization, will be key to her continued growth.
Ongoing Health
Athena is spayed and up-to-date on vaccinations. No specific health conditions are noted at this time.
Training & Support
Athena is a smart cookie who already knows "sit," "down," "drop it," and "come!" She is eager to learn and will continue to flourish with positive reinforcement training. She is actively learning social boundaries with other dogs, improving daily at reading cues. Due to her strong play drive, introductions to cats should be slow and carefully managed, with clear boundaries established. A home without cats might be ideal.
