About Athena

Athena is a sweet, energetic girl who absolutely adores people and long walks. She loves to be the center of attention and would thrive in a home that can provide her with plenty of affection and exercise.

Ideal Home

Athena would do best in a home with children who are a bit older and know how to interact gently with dogs. She does not get along with cats and is reactive towards other dogs, so a home without them would be ideal.

Ongoing Health

Athena was born with hip dysplasia. While it is not currently affecting her mobility, it is important to manage her activity levels by avoiding excessive running and jumping to protect her hips.

Training & Support

Athena is housebroken and crate trained, which are great starting points! Her current family has been working on managing her energy and hip dysplasia, so continuing this mindful approach will be key to her well-being.

Applications start by contacting us through Wags.
