About Athena

Meet Athena, a delightful Bulldog and Dalmatian mix with an irresistible smile and charming speckles. She's a sweet girl who thrives outside of the noisy shelter environment, showing her affectionate side when with her favorite humans. Athena enjoys her daily walks, playful sessions with her toys, and cuddling up close for some quality time. This young lady walks well on a leash and knows some basic commands like "come" and "sit." While she was initially nervous around other dogs, she gradually warmed up and even shared kisses with her dog friends. Athena has lived in a home with other pups before and is house trained. However, she is terrified of cats and would do best in a home without them. Children’s compatibility is unknown, so a quieter setting may suit her best. Athena was born on July 14, 2024, and weighs approximately 53 lbs. She is spayed and up to date on vaccinations, ensuring she's ready for her forever home. Join her on this journey to find a loving family. Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
