My story

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

Athena
Foster/Home Needed – Long Island, NY

Meet Athena. This sweet girl was rescued from down south with her BFF and brought to us in search of the life they deserve but have never had. Athena’s buddy Titan has been adopted, which is wonderful, but now it’s Athena’s turn. She is waiting patiently for her person/people. Athena is now a 3yr old female Terrier mix, weighing roughly 45lbs. Poor girl was half starved when we first saw her. Thankfully she is doing much better now. Athena is sweet, very playful and a little rambunctious. Amazing what a good meal or two can do for a girl, huh? She is ok with other dogs her size, but no small animals. Due to her size and lack of experience, children under the age of 13yrs are not recommended. Athena is spayed and UTD on all.

If you think you might be the well-deserved home for this lovable, neglected sweetheart, please contact adoptions@paws-li.org or go to our FB page or call the number listed below.
