My story

Athena has come such a long way since she first arrived with HCCC! The sweetest side of this stunning girl is starting to shine through. She’s a true human-companion dog who loves her people more than anything else. Her happy greetings when you come home (complete with play bows and a circular tail wag!) are enough to melt anyone’s heart. Athena thrives in a calm, structured home with older or less active dogs who will respect her space. She enjoys her crate and treats it as her safe spot — the door stays open, and she’ll retreat there when she’s ready to relax. A moderate activity level suits her best — she enjoys short walks, and some backyard exploration when the mood strikes. She’s becoming more playful, starting to engage with other dogs and even enjoying gentle playtime with her human companions. And guess what? Athena recently had a big breakthrough — she finally got in the car on her own! After some coaxing (and seeing her foster siblings pile in), she hopped in and even got treated to a Starbucks pup cup! She’s still learning to enjoy the ride, but it’s a huge step forward for this girl! No small kids or cats for this girl — her prey drive is strong! Her adopter will need to be patient and willing to help her feel secure in new environments. A fenced yard is a must — she loves circling the perimeter and keeping an eye on her surroundings. Athena is smart, loyal, and blossoming into the confident girl we knew she could be. She’ll make an incredible companion for someone who understands the unique charm of Chows. **Athena is located in Manvel, TX. Paid transport can be arranged. Transport costs range from $200-400.** If you are interested in adopting, please complete an application @ https://form.jotform.us/41173109602142. Once approved, home visit and reference checks are also required. If you have further questions outside of this listing, please email chowmail.hccc@gmail.com.

If you have any questions or would like to adopt Athena, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
