Why I need a new home

Behavioral issues

My story

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


This is Athena, she is a mix breed adopted from the shelter in October estimated age is to be around 10/11 months. Unfortunately she needs to rehomed she is really a good girl and has had training classes so knows all basic commands, she does great with other dogs not so much with cats and if you have chickens she will try to get to them, she hasn’t killed one yet but has tried. I have described her to a few trainers and vets and they have told me that they believe she has dirty dog syndrome which is where a dog has developed the habit of going to the bathroom in their own sleeping area, like a crate, seemingly not caring about the mess, often because they were not properly housetrained or spent too much time in a dirty environment when young, making them view it as normal to soil their space and I am at a loss and unable to break the habit between work school and other responsibilities. She is free to a good home and I have all her vet records and spay certificate.
