Athena is a 9-month-old girl with a sweet nature and a curious spirit. New people and places can feel a little overwhelming at first, so she appreciates having the chance to settle in and take things at her own pace. You'll often find her quietly taking in her surroundings, following her nose, and investigating the world around her before deciding it's time to join in. Once she feels safe, Athena's playful and affectionate side begins to shine. She enjoys exploring, playing and she has a gentle, goofy charm that is easy to love. Athena is making progress with her leash skills and will thrive with a patient family that can provide consistency, encouragement, and plenty of opportunities to explore and build confidence with daily skills and routines. Watching her confidence grow and her personality blossom is incredibly rewarding, and with time and understanding, Athena is sure to become a devoted companion ready to share all of life's adventures with her family.
