Meet ATHENA

Athena proves that not every Husky has to be a nonstop whirlwind. This beautiful, mature girl is the perfect medium-sized package with a medium energy level to match. She's happy to join you for an adventure, enjoys playtime, and is just as content hanging out by your side afterward. She still has that charming Husky personality—curious, playful, and always ready to see what life has in store—but one thing that really sets her apart is how much she enjoys affection. Athena doesn't just tolerate pets; she actively seeks them out, happily leaning in for scratches and soaking up attention from her favorite people. She's both dog and human social, making friends wherever she goes with her easygoing, friendly nature. Whether she's exploring the yard, playing with canine companions, or asking for a little extra love, Athena brings a wonderful balance of fun and companionship. If you've always admired Huskies but hoped to find one with a calmer, more settled outlook on life, Athena may be exactly who you've been waiting for. She has all the beauty and personality the breed is known for, wrapped up in a sweet, affectionate dog who's ready to become someone's loyal best friend. Athena has participated in shelter playgroups and may enjoy a compatible canine friend in her new home. She's also sharing her shelter suite with a friend she met at the shelter. Looking for a buddy for your dog? Bring him/her to the shelter for a meet and greet and see if we're a match! Check out her playgroup video here: To meet me, visit the Bradshaw Animal Shelter Tuesday-Sunday, Noon - 5:00 pm, Wednesdays, Noon - 6:00 pm. All adoptions are on a first-come, first-served basis. To help expedite the meet and greet process, please make note of my Animal ID number, and those of other dogs you might be interested in meeting. Be sure to bring your ID with you, too. We are located at 3839 Bradshaw Road, Sacramento. I look forward to getting to know you!
