Athena

Meet Athena, a sweet senior girl at almost 8 years old. She loves people. She met an older couple with a cane and a wheelchair and was very polite and not phased at all. She is a well-behaved and sweet older girl who is just hoping to find her forever home.

She would love a quiet home where she can relax and enjoy her golden years. Despite her age, Athena still loves to go on walks and play. She loves water and will splash around. Please give this senior girl the chance she deserves!

BACKGROUND: Athena was abandoned with her 10 pups in Puerto Rico in the middle of a violent rain storm, she was rescued by a good Samaritan who took them inside to safety. Traveling up to Virginia in 2019, she was adopted by a family that loved her very much. Four years later, her family had a small human of their own, and Athena did not do well adjusting as they became mobile.

Athena is physically healthy, though a pesky floating kneecap can sometime bother her if she's been running around a LOT. She may also have some allergies that affect her skin.

KNOWN WITH DOGS: Athena does well with other dogs, as long as they do not have too much energy and respect her boundaries. She prefers to just coexist.

KNOWN WITH CATS: Athena did not react well at an event with cats.

KNOWN WITH KIDS: Athena would prefer to not live with kids.

KNOWN CUES: Sit, down, paw, and excellent recall!

KNOWN HOUSEBREAKING AND/OR CRATING: She is housetrained, and can be left on her own for long periods of time.

KNOWN LIKES: Affection, swimming, car rides, and playtime with humans
