Athena, a delightful 1-year-old Terrier mix, is a bundle of playful energy and affectionate charm. Estimated to be born in May 2025, this 35-pound girl was found abandoned in the woods with her siblings, a sad start to what we know will be a bright future. Athena is a curious and social dog who loves to be involved in everything her humans are doing. She's currently in a foster home in San Antonio, Texas, and is eager to find her forever family!
Ideal Home
Athena would thrive in an active home that can provide daily physical exercise and mental enrichment. She needs a family who understands puppy behavior and is committed to continuing her training, structure, and socialization. Her ideal home will offer plenty of appropriate chew toys and outlets for her energy. While she enjoys the company of other dogs, 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 work.
Ongoing Health
Athena is spayed and up-to-date on vaccinations. No specific health conditions were mentioned in her listing.
Training & Support
Athena is a smart pup who already knows "sit," "down," "drop it," and "come"! She's eager to learn and will continue to flourish with positive reinforcement and ongoing training. As she's still in a chewing phase, she'll need plenty of appropriate chew toys and consistent guidance to navigate normal puppy behaviors. She is also learning social boundaries with other dogs and is improving daily.
