My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Look at this beauty! Athena was found back in August running on the hwy., no one ever claimed her. Please read entire post before applying for adoption.

Athena is a 53 lb. Akita mix and is around 1 year old. She has the sweetest personality and is probably the biggest snuggle bug ever! She loves being inside but enjoys being outdoors and would love an active family to take her on walks/hikes as she has a lot of energy!

She seems good with other dogs and cats so far. She does react some to small yappy dogs, but nothing bad. She does have a little separation anxiety, but seems to be able to self soothe herself. She needs a home with a very secure yard and taller fence as she is a little Houdini and will escape.

She is a little hesitant of new people, especially men, but warms up quickly and then loves all of the attention and pets. She seems to love kids too!

She needs an experienced owner who knows the Akita breed.
Athena is very playful and her breed has some traits that could be mistaken as rough. She loves putting her foster parents wrist in her mouth when she is walking. This is very common with her breed and should not be taken as aggressive. Because of this, we feel she needs a home without young children.

Athena will keep you smiling and laughing with her funny personality. If you are interested in adopting her, please fill out our MHS K9 Adoption Application from our website at mountainshumanesociety.org
