**Please read Athena's entire profile, which includes a link to the adoption application at the end. Thank you!** Meet Athena Awestruck - a 10 year old, Cockapoo mix, who weighs approximately 14 pounds (as of 4/17/26). This senior gal's previous owner is moving to Spain and unfortunately can't take her along. While she'll always miss her previous home, Athena is looking for a new family to call her own! Her foster shares: "Athena is a beautiful Cockapoo with the heart of an angel! She is a lap baby and will sit with you for hours. She loves being near humans and all the attention. She is such a sweet soul and everyone she meets falls in love with her gentle nature, soulful eyes and laid back demeanor. She is a very easy going dog and is wonderful with children and other dogs! You will fall in love with her as soon as you meet her! Athena will be a wonderful addition to a loving home who is looking to add a loyal companion to their family." What a glowing review! But wait, there's more! Athena loves going on walks, is housebroken, loves riding in a car and walks on a harness leash well. This girl is ready for any fun adventure that comes her way except for thunderstorms/fireworks or larger dogs. She's not a fan. At her previous home, she mainly stayed home alone (she doesn't use a crate), but has had a dog walker come in midday to take her outside. She also knows plenty of commands as well, so no need to teach this old dog new tricks! Athena can't wait to bring some cuddles and love into your lap! All dogs are up to date on vaccinations and spayed/neutered at the time of adoption. All dogs require professional training to become the best family member they can be.

Their information is correct to the best of our abilities and the information we have been given as of the day of posting. From time to time we receive new information/photos of a dog and we do recreate their listing, which means their old listing link will no longer be valid. If you are considering a dog but don't apply right away please make sure to search for the dog by name if the link you have no longer works. Please note, GDRNE does not guarantee the breed of any dog or puppy unless stated that we have run DNA. All breeds listed are educated estimates. Note that if the dog is listed as an "Out of town pet" there are NOT additional transport fees - it is included in our adoption fee Our dogs are rescued from various situations. It is most likely that both their parents were strays and even if not, mixes of some sort and that their grandparents were mixes as well. The dog may have some genetic material of an American Staffordshire Terrier (pit bull). The dogs are usually mixes of many breeds, making them a breed all their own - a True and adorable American MUTT. If you are interested in this dog, you must submit an application. Great Dog is not a shelter so there is no building you can visit. Our dogs live in private foster homes until adopted.
