About Athena

Meet Athena! She’s a sweet and gentle girl often feeling a bit overwhelmed by the world around her.

Athena prefers a quiet home with adults (16+) where she can settle in at her own pace. If you have a social, confident pup who can be her role model, she’d love to meet you. What are you waiting for?
