About Athena

Meet Athena, a vibrant dog with a heart of gold. She came to the Kansas Humane Society of Wichita after an unfortunate experience with a golf-ball-sized mass on her face, which has since been successfully removed. Now at 6 years old and weighing 55 lbs, Athena is an active, playful, and immensely affectionate companion. She enjoys pets, cuddles, and even road trips, always ready for a new adventure. Athena thrives in the company of larger dogs, having lived with two and interacting well with them. However, she has a high prey drive, so a home without cats or small animals is essential. Ideally, she would flourish in a home with a fenced yard and an active family who can match her energy. Come meet her today and see if you can be the perfect match for her joyful spirit!
