Athena is a beautiful brown-and-black Shepsky with a petite shepherd build and a gentle, loving heart. The moment she arrived, she warmed up quickly, showing how much she values affection and companionship. Athena leans right into attention and is happiest when close to her people. She’s well-mannered and clearly eager to please. Athena knows sit, paw, and up, and she’s both crate trained and house trained, which makes for a smooth routine. She goes outside reliably for bathroom breaks, then returns willingly to her crate, keeping things easy and organized. Playful energy is abundant with Athena—she loves to run and engage with people or dog friends alike, but she also knows when to relax. She settles down contentedly with a chew toy and can entertain herself. Athena enjoys evening leash walks and is comfortable both solo and in a group. She’s soft-natured, respects boundaries, and brings a calming presence to the home. Athena will thrive in a home that values her balance of playfulness and calm. She fits right into family life and is ready to give her heart fully. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
