Athena, estimated to be around 1 year old, is a delightful Terrier mix who weighs about 35 pounds. She's a bundle of energy, curiosity, and affection, with a personality that's as vibrant as her zoomies! Athena and her siblings were found abandoned, but she's blossomed beautifully in foster care, showing a real maturity for her age while still embracing her playful puppy spirit. She's a fast learner, already mastering "sit," "down," "drop it," and "come," and she's eager for more training and enrichment. Athena absolutely loves playing with other dogs and would likely enjoy a canine companion in her forever home, especially one who is patient and understanding as she learns social cues.
Ideal Home
Athena would thrive in an active home that can provide daily physical exercise and mental enrichment, plenty of appropriate chew toys, and continued training and socialization. She needs a family committed to her growth and maturity, embracing her fun-loving nature. A home without cats might be ideal due to her strong play drive, though a cat-savvy home with slow introductions and clear boundaries could also work.
Ongoing Health
Athena is spayed and up-to-date on vaccinations. She is currently in good health.
Training & Support
Athena is already learning basic commands and is eager to continue with positive reinforcement training. She is in a chewing phase and will need consistent guidance and plenty of chew toys. She is learning to understand when other dogs are finished playing and is improving daily.
