Athena is a sassy but sweet shepherd mix with a big personality in a smaller frame, standing about knee high. She’s the type to introduce herself boldly—she can come on a bit strong meeting new dogs, but after laying down the rules, she gets along well, as shown with her sister Venus and her buddy Smokey. Athena is very smart and eager to learn, though she’ll need someone committed to helping her master leashing up and to curb her jumping. She hasn’t nailed house training just yet, so be ready to work on that too. Athena’s medium-length coat shows off a mix of tan, black, and brown shades. If you’re looking for a bright, active companion, Athena is waiting to meet you in Weaverville, CA. Adoption staff are happy to answer any questions about her. Your new best friend is just one click away.
