Athena, a 1-year-old (estimated DOB May 2025) Terrier mix, is a 35-pound bundle of joy with a heart full of love and a tail that never stops wagging. She and her siblings were sadly found abandoned in the woods, but thankfully, she's now in a loving foster home in San Antonio, Texas, eagerly awaiting her forever family. Athena is an active and curious young dog who absolutely adores playing with other dogs of all sizes. She's currently navigating the joys and challenges of puppyhood, including a chewing phase, and will need a home that can provide plenty of appropriate chew toys and consistent guidance. With her playful spirit, affectionate nature, and a dash of zoomies, Athena is sure to bring endless entertainment and happiness to her new home.
Ideal Home
Athena would thrive in an active home that can provide daily physical exercise and mental enrichment. She needs plenty of appropriate chew toys and continued training and structure to help her mature. Social interaction and companionship are important for her, and a family that offers patience and consistency will help her blossom into a wonderful adult dog. She would likely enjoy having a playful canine companion, and while she hasn't been tested with cats, a home without them may be ideal due to her strong play drive.
Ongoing Health
Athena is spayed and up-to-date on vaccinations. She is in good health.
Training & Support
Athena is a smart and eager learner, already knowing commands like sit, down, drop it, and come. She will continue to thrive with positive reinforcement and ongoing training. She is learning social boundaries with other dogs and is improving every day. Consistency, patience, and structure will be key to her continued development.
