Athena

My story

Hello new friends! I am so excited to meet you. My name is Athena, and boy have I been on quite the journey to find my way into your life. I came to Animal Aid after a lovely person from my past helped me escape a scary, unsafe living environment. I took some time to recover from open wounds on my body and gain a healthy amount of weight to be in the tip top shape I am now. I'm learning to love life through fun experiences and new pals. While I have previously lived with other dogs and cats, I'd really prefer to be an only pup and get showered in all the attention. I could get used to living with animals again, but right now I'm a bit overwhelmed with all the unfamiliar experiences. My awesome foster has been helping me find a love for life and a sense of safety. My favorite things are playing tug, chewing tough treats, and cuddling up to my favorite people. My leash skills are getting much better every day, and I'm a pro and walking by other people and dogs without a care. Lots of noise still stresses me out a bit, so apartment life might be a bit too chaotic for me. I'm great with kids (if they don't mind a goofy, energetic player). Despite some really tough traumas, I've impressed everyone with my resilience and love for new human besties. Animal Aid is dedicated to helping set me up for success, so don't hesitate to ask about any assistance you may want to make me a forever family member. I'm allergic to chicken but otherwise in great health. I'm in a foster home, so please fill out an application at animalaidpdx.org to meet me! Est. DOB: 10/9/19 Weight: 55lb
