Athena German Shepherd Dog Seattle, WA

Animal Profile: Athena is an estimated 2-year-old spayed female German Shepherd mix rescued from San Bernardino city shelter where she was a stray intake and euthanasia listed for space. Shelter volunteers reported she was friendly with people and dogs, and we tagged her. She arrived to foster care extremely emaciated, just 45 lbs. We will share more about her once we get her healthy in foster care.

Foster Update:

Athena is settling in well! She is a sweet mellow girl who loves to lay around and cuddle. Athena is a quick learner and has mastered sit and paw and we are currently working on the stay command. She is crate-trained and potty-trained. Athena enjoys meeting new people and dogs. She walks well on a leash other than some occasional pulling when she sees another dog she is excited to meet. Athena arrived significantly underweight and will require an adopter who will continue to help her feel secure and work on her slow and steady weight gain progress. She is food-motivated and has had a good appetite in her foster home and we believe her weight issues are related to being a stray and kennel stress rather than other health issues.

Adoption Info:

Adoption fee is $550, which includes spay/neuter, current on DPPV & Bordetella. All adoption fees are donations to a Washington non-profit corporation and all donations go to benefit the animals in our rescue.
