Athena, known affectionately as “Baby Girl,” needs a patient and understanding family who respects her pace. She follows the 3:3:3 rule—allow her 3 days to settle, 3 weeks to adjust to routines, and 3 months to truly bond. Athena is a gentle soul who prefers to warm up on her own terms. She tends to be shy with new people but will quietly observe you, always wanting to stay close by. This fully house trained girl lets you know when it’s time to go outside and will use a dog door if available. Athena gets along well with cats and calm, respectful dogs, matching their easygoing energy. While she may never transform into a typical lap dog, she finds comfort in simply being part of your world, watching over her person with quiet loyalty. With consistency and gentle patience, Athena will slowly reveal her affectionate side and blossom in a peaceful home. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
