ATHENA's Story

Athena can be timid and vocal with strangers at first, but with a few positive interactions and treats, she begins to build trust. Athena has lived lovingly with young children (0–20 months), another dog, and two cats, and she is gentle, affectionate, and tolerant with her family. But she's new to you and absolutely needs slow introductions. She enjoys attention, toys, and lap time, happily seeking affection from people once comfortable. She would thrive in a patient, understanding home that continues to build her confidence while giving her the love and reassurance she craves.

Humane Society of the Pikes Peak Region's Adoption Policy

You’ll notice each pet will have an info card attached to their kennel with an ID number. Write down this ID number so a matchmaker can give you more information. You will also be asked to complete an adopter survey to help our matchmakers assist you in finding a new pet that’s just the right fit. We limit visitations to two pets per family, per day. This ensures everyone interested in adopting has the opportunity to spend time with their potential new family member. Puppies and kittens 5 months and younger are not able to visit before going home for adoption. Please speak with a staff member for details. Once your visit is complete, you will meet with a customer service representative. We will review any special medical or behavior information and offer tips on how to help you get settled in. Please bring a photo ID and review any pet restrictions that may exist within your lease/rental agreement, HOA bylaws, or city’s ordinances.
