Athena is a large, young shepherd mix who fits well into an active household. She has already shown she's friendly with people and dogs, and comfortably coexists with cats and teens in her foster home. Athena thrives with regular daily exercise and is happiest when her days include walks, hikes, or a good game of fetch. In new situations or around unfamiliar people, Athena can be cautious and show a bit of anxiety, so she'd do best with someone who understands shepherd tendencies and can offer her the structure and guidance she needs. She’s looking for an adopter who can give her both exercise and patient leadership. If you’re familiar with shepherds and want a loving, alert companion, Athena could be the right fit. Your new best friend is just one click away.
