Athena is a sweet, playful pit bull mix with mismatched blue and green eyes that draw you in the moment you meet her. Just a year old, she's still getting used to her surroundings after being found alone, but she's already showing her curious, goofy side. Athena loves playtime with other dogs and isn't shy about expressing her opinion on cold weather—she'll snort with indignation before heading for somewhere warm. When Athena first arrived, the busy shelter environment had her spooked. Fast forward, and she's making steady progress with help from patient volunteers. Her affectionate side is coming through more every week. Give her a moment, sit quietly, and she'll wriggle right into your lap. Athena needs a family that understands she's still learning to trust and needs encouragement and gentle guidance to feel secure. She thrives with patient people, and with time, Athena will reward you as a devoted companion. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
