About Athena

🐾 Meet Athena! Once upon a time, Athena had a loving family who made the tough choice to find a new home for her after struggling with a new baby. This sweet 6-year-old American Pit Bull is looking for a place where she can feel safe and relaxed, without the stress of young children. Athena loves nothing more than chasing squirrels, playing tug-of-war, and enjoying some tasty treats. She's affectionate and playful, always ready for lots of snuggles and head kisses. This friendly girl even welcomes visitors, eager to make new friends. Athena is housebroken, crate-trained, and knows commands like sit and lay down. She thrives best in a home without kids under 5 and will need an adopter who understands her occasional protectiveness over her toys. Currently sharing her foster home with two dogs, she gets along with them well, although slow introductions are recommended. She also has a positive history with cats and enjoys their company. Athena is ready to turn the page to a beautiful new beginning. Could you be the one to show her love and affection? Interested in adopting Athena?
