Meet Athena – A Gentle Mama With a Big Heart Athena is a 7-year-old spayed female pit bull mix who came to the shelter with her son, Gucci. She’s a calm, loving soul with just the right mix of sweetness and spunk. This spry girl enjoys trotting around for brief bursts of fun, exploring her surroundings, and coming running when you call her name. She’s easy to walk, knows “sit,” and takes treats with the gentlest little nibble. Medium energy and wonderfully polite, Athena loves attention, pets, and of course—treats. Her previous family shared that she’s housebroken, crate trained, loves riding in the car, and has been friendly with both adults and children. She does have a habit of chasing cats, and she may prefer being the only dog—unless you decide you’d like to adopt her son, too. If you’re looking for a devoted, affectionate companion with a warm heart and a sweet spirit, Athena would love to meet you.
