Athena's Story

Athena is a 2 year old, black Great Dane female who has a sad story to tell so far. She was originally found chained in a backyard when family members went to do a welfare check on her previous owner. It is unknown how long she was without food and water due to the owner being ill and hospitalized. When Athena was found, she was very underweight and pregnant. Her original foster family nursed her back to health, she raised her puppies, and she happily went on to what we hoped was her forever home. Unfortunately, despite being the "perfect dog" per her adopters, there was a horrible, tragic incident that required her rehoming. Since coming back into foster care, she has been her happy goofy self and is ready to start the search for her final landing spot. Athena is house trained, crate trained, knows sit, come, paw, speak, and she loves to play and dig through her toy basket. She is also hilarious when she gets the zoomies in the backyard, but also loves to snuggle on the couch! She has done well with most dogs but will require a home without another dominant dog and does best with larger dogs only. Athena attaches very quickly to women, but takes a little longer to warm up to men. If you have what it takes to give this girl the happy ending she deserves, get your application in today!<br/><br/>Giant Breed Experienced Homes Only.

Big Dogs Huge Paws, inc's Adoption Policy
Many of the gentle giants that come into our rescue have been neglected or abused. Others have simply been abandoned by their owners due to a divorce, a new baby, moving, or natural disaster. We are often told that they got “too big” or “too expensive” and many of the dogs below come to us with very little training. Despite their past, rescue dogs are incredibly forgiving and very eager to please. They have so much to give and are all very special. We are looking for forever homes and permanent families who will love their new addition unconditionally and give them the love and support they need and deserve for the rest of their lives. Adoption Requirements and Guidelines a. Applicants must have never been convicted of any animal abuse laws. b. All potential adopters must completely fill out and sign the adoption application and the information must be verified and approved by a BDHPI representative. c. All appli
