Athena is a resilient Doberman Pinscher with a heartbreaking past. Used as a breeding dog most of her life, she spent her years in a kennel run before being abandoned at a shelter. Despite her rough start, Athena is sweet-natured, loving, and craves attention she’s barely known. She has some quirks like circling—understandable, given her history—but stays clean, quiet, and crate trained inside. Athena does well with large male dogs and puppies, but because of her prey drive, she cannot live with cats or small dogs, and she cannot be placed with female dogs. Since enduring many litters, her belly and nipples are permanently saggy, a physical reminder of her past but never a reflection of her worth. She’s waiting for someone patient who can offer her comfort and companionship. Athena is spayed and vaccinated, and given all she’s been through, she truly deserves a safe, loving forever home.
