Athena

I'm Athena and I am 1 years old! I am a smart, active girly that can't wait to find a furever home! I came into the shelter as a stray and my owners called and felt it was best they didn't reclaim me. True to my breed (shepherd mix) I have lots of energy and I'm very smart. That's part of the reason I ended up here. I kept getting loose, mostly breaking my tie outs. The lack of exercise and my need to expel my energy made for a dangerous situation because I kept getting bored and getting loose, so my owners were afraid I would eventually get hit on the busy road they lived off of. I would prefer a home with a fence but this isn't a deal breaker if you are willing to train me (like I said I am very smart!) and be sure to give me plenty of exercise. Daily walks would be a must if you don't have a fenced in yard. I'm not the biggest on toys but I do like a good bone to chew. I had young kids in my home and I was happy living with them. I am crate trained for when you need to go to work or make a grocery run, and I am also housetrained! What more could you ask for, I'm young and willing to learn so please take a chance on me and you wont be disappointed. I will always make sure you get your daily steps in!!<br/><br/>I was adopted for a short time. I did really well with the other dog in the home, I was housetrained, I listened to basic commands and I did really well with the kiddos in the home! However, I did not make good friends with the cats and therefore did not make a good companion for this particular family. They were so sad they had to surrender me, and said if I was cat friendly, that they 100% would have kept me. I just happen to have a prey drive for small animals, including cats, which is another trait of my breed.Give the shelter a call at (574) 267-3008 or email them at info@awlwarsaw.com if you have any questions about me! If not, stop by the shelter at 1048 S 325 E in Pierceton, IN 46562 to look at me! No appointments necessary!
