Athena's Story

Athena is a 4-year-old gentle giant with a heart just as big as her paws. This sweet, affectionate girl has spent much of her young life being a devoted mama to several litters of puppies, and now it's finally her turn to be the one spoiled and adored. Athena loves the company of other dogs and thrives on companionship. She doesn't quite realize her size, so she'd do best with canine friends closer to her own stature who can keep up with her playful energy. With her loving personality, soulful eyes, and cuddly nature, Athena is ready to trade motherhood for a lifetime of being someone's cherished baby. ADOPTION PROCESS 1.
