Story
Meet beautiful, sweet Chia. She takes her time approaching and getting to know new people, but once she’s comfortable and earns your trust, she will soak up all your love, want to cuddle, and follow you everywhere. She loves it when you play ball with her, blow bubbles for her to chase, and will make you laugh when she entertains herself with a ball. She is always on the alert, and you will feel protected when you become one of her people. She is used to only 1 other (male) dog, It would be best if she goes to a home that is understanding that she doesnt go to a home with little kids, or cats as she’s not been exposed and may not do well around them. She may time and patience to help her get acquainted with another dog if you already have one. Listens to stay, wait, laydown, get down, come, spin, shake, touch, lets go, this way, and leave it. She would thrive in a home that allows for time, routine, consistency, good exercise.

Hello this is Athena, she is 8 months old. She is playful, energetic, and cuddles all the time. She is a great dog never had any issues besides the normal chewing stuff here and there when she was a puppy puppy. I do love her but she needs more space as I currently live in an RV.
