My story

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

Athena was the ancient Greek goddess associated with wisdom. Well, our Athena is from Arizona, not Athens, but she’s wise enough to know that she belongs in a home, not the shelter!! Here’s what one volunteer at the shelter said:

“This girl is always smiling! Athena loves going to the yard with her kennelmate so they can swim and run around. She just wants to be with people and have fun!”

Athena lived in one home her whole life before first arriving at the shelter. In that home she was reportedly housebroken and crate trained and enjoys hiking. Athena shares her kennel with another PACC pup and has been playful and easygoing when meeting other dogs in playgroup. She’d like to meet any resident dogs before heading home to make sure it’s a good fit. Ask to meet Athena today!
