Athena, a 1-year-old Terrier mix, is a bundle of playful energy and affection looking for her forever home! She's estimated to be around 35 pounds and was found with her siblings in the woods, a situation that clearly wasn't ideal. Thankfully, she's now in a loving foster home in San Antonio, Texas, and is ready to embark on her next adventure. Athena is a bright and curious girl who is blossoming beautifully with patience and consistency. She loves to play, engage in zoomies, and is eager to be involved in all her people's activities. Her personality shines through, making her a joy to watch as she continues to grow and mature.
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 outlets for her energetic nature. A home committed to continued training, structure, and socialization will help her mature into an amazing adult dog. Patience and consistency are key as she continues to learn and grow. A home without cats may be ideal, though a cat-savvy home with slow introductions and clear boundaries might work.
Ongoing Health
Athena is spayed and up-to-date on vaccinations. As a young dog, she is still working through some typical puppy behaviors, including chewing. With appropriate chew toys and continued guidance, she will overcome this phase.
Training & Support
Athena is a smart cookie and already knows "sit," "down," "drop it," and "come"! She is eager to learn and will continue to flourish with positive reinforcement training. She is learning social boundaries with other dogs and is improving daily at reading cues from her canine friends. She enjoys playing with dogs of all sizes and would likely do well with a playful canine companion.
