My story

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

Hi! My name is Athena and if you are looking for a dog who is beautiful, fun-loving and affectionate, I may just be the perfect choice. I am a very sweet girl who has lived with young children, other dogs and a cat in my previous home. It has also been reported that I have good house manners and am crate trained. I am a playful pup who would be happy to be a walking or running partner -- whatever your preference is! As long as I am with my best friend, I am a happy pup! And I am at a really nice age. I am past the puppy stage of life but still active enough to enjoy outdoor activities with my favorite people. I enjoy playing with other dogs and would never say no to a good game of fetch or tug. I am also an excellent cuddler! I am going to make the perfect couch buddy as you settle in after a long day. And any training you may want to do should go smoothly as I am very motivated by treats. But my favorite thing to chew on is ice cubes! So if you are looking for a companion to share life's many adventures with, you really can't go wrong with me. Let's meet and see if we have a connection.
