About Athena

Athena is a lively one-year-old Border Collie mix with a heart full of love to share. This sweet girl thrives on playtime, whether it's with her foster siblings or engaging with people. She's a bundle of energy and enjoys off-leash fun in the yard, staying close by. Riding in the car is one of her favorite activities. Highly trainable and food motivated, Athena knows how to sit and always waits patiently before her meals. She gets along great with all dogs and is gradually learning that cats can be friends too. While she's making strides in potty training, she still has a few accidents, mostly with #1. She doesn’t whine in her crate, though she’s not fully crate trained yet. Athena loves her chew toys and would thrive in an active family that appreciates her playful spirit. It seems likely that Athena is even younger than her paperwork suggests. Athena's adoption fee is $475. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
