Athena

My story

⚡️🐾 Meet Athena!! 🐾⚡️ She came in as a stray on 8/15/25, and we think she’s about 2 years old. Breed? Imagine a shepherd who accidentally plugged herself into a power outlet, then borrowed a border collie’s energy drink stash. That’s Athena. This girl is a one-dog hype squad. She’s friendly, sweet, and will happily soak up every ounce of attention you’ve got. Belly rubs? Yes, please. Ear scratches? Don’t stop. Talking to her in a silly voice? She’ll eat it up. Now, Athena does have enough energy to power a small village, so some training will help her channel her “rocket dog” lifestyle into something productive—like agility, fetch, or inventing new Olympic sports. If you’re looking for a couch potato… keep scrolling. If you’re looking for a canine sidekick who can double as a motivational speaker, personal trainer, and comedy act, Athena is your girl. 🚨 Hurry in before someone else snags this four-legged lightning bolt! 🚨 📍 Richland County Dog Shelter, Mansfield, OH 📞 419-774-5892 📧 Applications: dogs@richlandcountyoh.gov
