About Athena
Athena is a sweet, gentle girl who believes life is best when spent close to her favorite person. She loves to snuggle, follows her human around like a little shadow, and genuinely thrives on being loved. Though she may be a tad shy initially, she's wonderful with everyone she meets. Even when nervous, Athena looks to her person for reassurance and is willing to try new things when she knows someone has her back. Her trust and eagerness to please make her a uniquely special companion. This smart girl is eager to learn, especially when treats are involved! Athena is house-trained, adapts well to her kennel, walks beautifully on a leash, and has good recall. Currently, she's honing her manners and learning to sit. With her food motivation and quick-learning abilities, she's ready to build on her skills with a family who will encourage her along the way. Athena gets along well with dogs, both big and small, but she isn't fond of cats. It's best to keep chickens away, as she finds tormenting them quite entertaining. Her future home should ensure those feathered friends are safe. Athena also enjoys life's simple pleasures, like soaking up sunshine and quietly observing the world. She can relax on a tie-out without making a fuss, content to enjoy the fresh air before heading inside for her favorite activity: snuggling with her person. With her little princess personality, Athena certainly appreciates being treated like one. More than anything, she seeks a home where she feels safe, included, and loved. This gentle soul thrives on reassurance and companionship, rewarding her person with loyalty, affection, and cozy cuddle times. If you're looking for a loving, clever companion who wants to be your shadow and your snuggle buddy, Little Miss Athena may be the perfect addition to your family. What are you waiting for?
