Meet Athena
Athena is a very sweet, gentle, happy, and cuddly 7-year-old German shepherd who is great with kids and dogs. Due to a divorce, there is no one home to give her the attention and love she deserves. She is very smart, already has some basic training and knows SIT, STAY, and GIVE PAW. She loves bones, bouncy balls to chew and play with, and loves fetch (but she is not great at dropping it once retrieved). Athena is the whole package. She will thrive with a family or person who have lots of love and time to give her attention, take walks, and share life’s joys and adventures. A home with a yard where she can run and play will be ideal. In return, you will have a devoted and loving life-time companion and family member.
