Athena

My story

Hi there! I’m Athena, a lovable, goofy girl who’s ready for some fun adventures! I recently went on a walk with a super nice volunteer, and let me tell you, it was an amazing time. At first, I was a little energetic, but I settled down quickly and was eager to explore the world around me. My potty habits? Always outside, of course! Gotta keep it clean and proper.We decided to skip the car and take a nice walk through the streets of Atlanta instead. We headed down Marietta Rd, which turned out to be a lot noisier than I thought it would be. But that didn’t phase me one bit—I was curious, sniffing around, and totally soaking it all in. My leash manners were on point, and I was walking ahead of my volunteer with just a bit of pressure on the leash. And guess what? By the end of the walk, I was walking right at heel! Pretty impressive for an 80-pound girl like me, don’t you think?Along the way, I met some new people, and I couldn’t help but get all wiggly and excited. I love meeting new friends! I’ll wag my tail, approach them softly, and hope for some pets. Who doesn’t love a good scratch behind the ears, right? I seem friendly round other dogs, and love to see what they are up to! If you have a pup, bring them over so we can meet! As for cats, I have not met one but would maybe do well with a confident kitty. I am so smart and ready to learn I just want someone to give me a chance.I’ve got medium energy—enough to enjoy a nice walk or even a run if that’s what you’re into. I love to get outside and stretch my legs. I also have a thing for squirrels and birds—so if you’re ever out with me, you’ll want to keep an eye on me because I can be pretty quick if I spot one!I’m also a total toy lover. Give me a toy, and I’m in heaven, ready to play for hours! I might not always realize how big I am, though—I’ll try to curl up in your lap like a tiny dog. But I promise I’m worth the space! I love attention and crave it, I`m a big but a gentle lover girl. I know my basic manners and I’m eager to learn more. If you`re looking for a loving, joyful, and playful companion, I’d love to be your new best friend!
