Athena is an endearing soul who’s ready for a second chance. She starts out on the cautious side, but give her a little patience and her gentle nature comes right out—especially if you have time for belly rubs. Picture Athena, short brindle coat gleaming, already house trained and pretty good on leash once her initial excitement settles. She’ll slow to gaze up at you, waiting for a kind hand or maybe a treat, which she always takes soft as a feather. Athena’s joy is curling up on a blanket beside her favorite stuffie, radiating that quiet need to connect. She prefers to be the only dog in the home—sharing isn’t really her style—and she isn’t keen on cats either. Athena can live with children, but her sensitive side means she does best with slow, gentle introductions. This is a dog looking for a calm household, somewhere she can bloom at her own pace, and she’ll reward her human with devotion and warmth. If you want a loyal, affectionate companion who’ll blossom with steady care, Athena’s your girl. She was born November 28 under Sagittarius, so don’t be surprised if she’s up for adventure once she trusts you. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
