About Athena

Athena is a lovely adult female mixed breed dog with Siberian Husky lineage, currently residing at Wayside Waifs in Kansas City, MO. She's a bit shy and can get nervous around new people and loud noises, so a patient approach will go a long way. Food is a great motivator for her, making training an engaging experience. Athena would do best in a home where kids are over 9 years old, as she needs a proper introduction to any little ones due to her sensitivity to unfamiliar faces. It's also a good idea to have a dog meet before adoption to ensure everyone gets along. By taking a gradual approach, you can help Athena feel comfortable and secure in her new home.
