Athena's Story

**THIS DOG IS NOT IN THE DIRECT CARE OF HAPPY TAILS HAPPY HOMES. We are assisting in her rehoming - if you are interested in this dog, please fill out an application at https://www.happytailshappyhomes.org/adoptionform **<br/><br/>Meet Athena <br/><br/>Athena is a stunning sandy-colored American Pit Bull Terrier with the sweetest face and an even sweeter soul. Estimated to be around 4-5 years old, this adult girl is the perfect blend of playful and peaceful. She enjoys her playtime but truly shines when it's time to relax, cuddle, and be close to her people. In the home, Athena is calm, quiet, and affectionate - a wonderful companion for someone looking for both fun and snuggles.<br/><br/>Athena is crate trained, house/potty trained, and already knows sit, lay down, and drop it. She's eager to learn and responds well to training, making her a joy to work with. She walks well on an Easy Walk lead and continues to improve her leash manners with consistency and guidance. Athena is also muzzle trained, which speaks volumes about her adaptability, intelligence, and cooperative nature.<br/><br/>When it comes to other dogs, Athena can be reactive, but she has been making steady progress with training. She is now able to walk calmly alongside another dog and continues to learn how to stay regulated. Because of this, Athena would do best as the only pet in the home, or potentially with a very calm, submissive dog in the right environment with experienced, patient adopters.<br/><br/>Athena will need to be spayed. Unfortunately, no medical records are available, as Athena's previous owner abandoned her in care. That said, Athena appears healthy, happy, and well cared for, and she has been thriving with routine, love, and training.<br/><br/>Athena is truly one of those dogs who bonds deeply and loyally with her people. She would flourish in a patient, loving home that can continue her training and provide the affection she craves. In return, Athena offers unwavering devotion, endless cuddles, and the kind of companionship that makes every day better.<br/><br/>If you're looking for a devoted best friend and are willing to help Athena take the final steps toward her forever home, she's ready to meet you.
