Athena

Um, it's me ... Athena <br/><br/> <br/><br/>I'm a shy 3 year old, spayed, microchipped American Bully. I came from a situation that was horrible ... I was left in a crate for an unknown amount of time and suspected to be used for breeding. I was stuck in a crate filled with feces and urine ... and who knows when I was fed. They had a 1 litter pop bottle that was attached to a guinea pig nozzle for me to get water from ... <br/><br/> <br/><br/>When I was finally rescued - I was experiencing life for the first time ever. The sound of a car horn, the feeling of grass between my toes, the taste of delicious treats. Experiencing all of this for the first time is also overwhelming for me. I have anxiety and will need someone who understands that. I need someone who will be patient with me and show me that I'm still lovable <br/><br/> <br/><br/>My foster can now look at me and I don't run or hide. <br/><br/>I'm improving with my leash and collar - before I didn't like it at all! <br/><br/>I also place my chin in my Foster's hand where before .. I would just hide. <br/><br/>I also used to potty inside regularly and now I only have a few accidents if I'm left alone for more than a few hours! I also use pee pads when it happens! <br/><br/> I'm also learning that not all people are bad and that I can trust them <br/><br/> I recently found my voice too! I actually feel comfortable enough to bark which before I didn't even make a peep!!<br/><br/> I do need another dog in the home and a fenced in yard <br/><br/>As you can imagine ... living in a crate not seeing day light for an unknown amount of time caused a lot of trauma - but I'm not mean in any way and just want to be loved and understood! Due to my anxiety, I am on Prozac and Trazodone to help me over come my hard times! <br/><br/> <br/><br/>If you think you can give me all the love I deserve but can also understand I need some patience along the way ... apply today! I can't wait to meet my new furever family

Um, it's me ... Athena
