Meet the magnificent Athena! 🌟 This incredible girl has been a resident of the rescue for a whopping THREE YEARS! That’s right, three precious years waiting for someone just like you to come along and give her the loving home she deserves. Athena is often referred to as a purebred "Bully," but she’s really just a sweet soul on a quest for love ❤️. Athena’s journey began when she and her boyfriend were found as strays. Can you believe her previous owner, who turned her into an incubator for profit, refused to take her back? 😢 After years of neglect, Athena learned about true love and comfort during her foster care. She went from being an undernourished, timid girl with her ribs showing, to a cuddly couch potato who knows what it means to be cared for! 🛋️ This stunning lady loves to cuddle and is often found snuggled up on the couch. Athena even graces us with a motorcycle-like bark that’s more adorable than it sounds! 🏍️ Trust me, once you break down those walls with kindness and tasty treats, you’ll see just how sweet she can be. Now, Athena prefers the gentle touch of female humans and more submissive male dogs. Initially, she’s a little shy and may give a low growl when meeting new folks, but don’t let that deter you! With a sprinkle of love and patience, she transforms into a cuddler in no time. 🥰 After a few weeks of bonding with a resident man in her foster home, she went from cowering to cozy cuddles! While she can be a bit bossy with new pups, Athena flourishes with slow introductions. She’s also had some adorable escapades with fellow foster Liam, a partner in cuteness and mischief! 😏 But she can definitely thrive as the only dog, soaking up all the love for herself. Athena is spayed, microchipped, and vaccinated, and she’s ready for her forever family! She's now crate trained, knows basic commands, and walks well on a leash, albeit with a burst of excitement—can you blame her? 🚶‍♂️💨 After everything she’s been through, Athena just longs for a serene life with a family who will cherish her. Oh, let’s not forget: All Better World Rescue dogs, including Athena, qualify for private and/or group training at no additional cost to ensure every adoption is a success! 🏆 So, if you're ready to shower this beautiful girl with love, apply through the Buddy App to meet Athena today! 💖
