Athena is a striking merle Great Dane, hard to miss with her extra-large frame and gentle, steady presence. At 5 years old, she’s grown well past the wild puppy stage and has settled into a calm, house-trained rhythm. Athena gets along easily with other dogs and fits comfortably into homes with children, making her an asset to any family. She arrived underweight, but a steady diet and care have her heading in the right direction. Athena’s vast size might surprise visitors, but her temperament shows the softer side of her breed—she’ll be more likely to lean in for attention than knock things over. She’s in Williamston, South Carolina, ready for someone who can appreciate her calm charm and make space on the couch for an extra-large companion. Your new best friend is just one click away.
