About Athena

Athena is a sweet older female Husky who deserves a loving home. She was recently rescued along with her friends after being found running on Highway 101. While her journey has been tough, with a leg injury and some matting in her coat, Athena remains friendly and affectionate. She’s currently receiving care as her rescuers work to locate her owner, Melissa Chico. Athena is not altered and hasn't been vaccinated yet, but we hope to bring her health back up to par soon. She’s on the heavier side and needs to shed some pounds to improve her overall well-being. If you recognize Athena or know her owner, please reach out to Campbell Safe Haven Rescue and Rehabilitation in North Bend, OR. She's ready for a beautiful life ahead, and we want to reunite her with the right family. Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
