About Athena

Meet Athena! Athena is a roughly 2-year-old pit bull terrier mix with a short fawn and cream coat, weighing in around 37 pounds. She’s packed with affection—always up for cuddling or just being as close as possible to her people. Athena is refreshingly resilient, having come through a tough start with her tail still wagging (literally: part of her tail was amputated, but she hasn’t slowed down). She’s spayed, vaccinated, heartworm negative, and microchipped. Athena loves other dogs and does best with playful, patient canine friends, as her exuberant greetings can be a lot. She’s not suitable for homes with cats. She has a high energy level and needs regular activity and play, as she can get mouthy when overstimulated; older kids are a better match for her playful style. Athena brings unfiltered happiness to everyone around her—just prepare for daily wiggle fests. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
