ATHENA

My story

Hello! Athena is a 3-year-old German Shepherd mix who came to us as a stray. She may start off a little shy, but once she feels safe, her sweet and loyal nature begins to shine.This lovely girl is easy to walk and tends to stay right by your side, looking up with those big eyes for quiet reassurance. She’s polite, well-mannered, and very well-behaved when spending time in the office. Athena already knows several commands like sit, paw, and down—a smart cookie with a gentle heart! She’ll need a patient home that can give her the time and space she needs to build trust and confidence. Once you’ve earned her trust, you’ll have a calm, devoted companion for life.If you’re looking for a loyal friend who just needs a soft place to land, Athena is waiting.It might even take a few meet and greets to get to know me best, but I promise it will be worth it! Come meet me today!If this dog has been successful in our play groups it is not a guarantee that a dog will be social with other dogs in their home or in public settings. Dogs are individuals and have personality conflicts, just like us. Play groups do not guarantee that territorial or resource guarding issues will not surface in the home. While play groups do help us get to know the dog`s better, once they are adopted their new environments and new relationships will influence their behavior in ways we cannot predict.The Adoption Fee Includes:- initial canine distemper combination vaccination- first worming or stool check- rabies vaccination (for animals over 3 months of age)- 24 Petwatch microchipping- flea treatment/preventative- spaying or neutering-heartworm testingAdoption fee: $135.00Per state law, ALL ADOPTERS must purchase a non-refundable 2025 dog license at time of adoption for any canine three months and older.
