Athena

Meet Athena 💕<br/><br/>Athena is a 4-year-old Great Dane with a heart as big as her paws! This gentle giant is incredibly sweet, loving, and absolutely adores people—including kids. She’s the kind of dog who just wants to be near her humans, whether that’s lounging on the couch or joining you for a nice evening walk.<br/><br/>Athena has previously lived with other dogs and done well, though slow introductions are always best. Her thoughts on cats are still a mystery, but she has shown some curious (and slightly confused 😂) interest in bearded dragons!<br/><br/>She’s fully potty trained and has been free-roaming in the home like a pro. Crate training is still a work in progress—Athena is a bit of a clever girl and managed to escape her crate early on—but she’s learning that it can be a positive, safe space with the help of treats and enrichment like her Kong.<br/><br/>Athena is a certified couch potato who enjoys her daily walks and does beautifully on a leash. She has great manners, doesn’t react to barking neighbor dogs, and listens well overall—though squirrels may occasionally tempt her into a playful chase!<br/><br/>She does experience some separation anxiety, especially when her primary person leaves, but she’s already making progress. Athena will thrive in a home where someone is around often (especially at first) and is committed to continuing her confidence-building and training.<br/><br/>Athena is up to date on her heartworm treatment and is ready to find a family who will give her the love, patience, and stability she deserves.<br/><br/>If you’re looking for a loyal, affectionate, and laid-back companion, Athena might just be your perfect match ❤️<br/><br/>Athena is spayed, up to date on vaccination and microchipped. She is heartworm positive and is being treated for heartworms using the slow-kill method (Doxycycline and ProHeart 12). Her adoption fee is $350. To read over the adoption requirements before applying, please go to www.nwflgdr.com/adopt.<br/><br/>Please note: NWFLGDR does not transport. All approved adopters are required to pick up the dog from his or her foster.
