My story

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

Athena is a beautiful adult female American Pit Bull Terrier mix who was brought to the HSOV on September 19, 2024 by a Good Samaritan who found her on State Route 60 in Washington County Ohio (no specific location provided). Unfortunately Athena was not wearing a collar, and she was not microchipped.

Athena has a white-and-pale brown coat, a long tail, and an adorable chubby face with a large brown patch around her right eye, a milk chocolate nose, and short floppy ears.

This big girl has a super sweet disposition and was quick to politely beg for attention when anyone walked by her kennel.

Athena had not yet stepped on the scales when these photos were taken in the afternoon on September 19th not long after her arrival, but she appears to be in the 55-60 lb weight range.

In compliance with the Ohio Revised Code, Athena will be held for three days so that her family will have an opportunity to reclaim her with proof of ownership.
