Athena

My story

Athena is a 4‑year‑old dog who is both house‑trained and crate‑trained. She is treat‑motivated and knows several commands, including sit, lay down, and stay. She can be territorial with her toys and collar, and she tends to pull ahead on the leash. Athena completed an extensive obedience training program that improved many behaviors, though she may still snap on occasion. With continued structure, these behaviors can keep improving, but we are unable to maintain the level of training she needs. She has never bitten anyone or any dog.Athena is very protective of her family and can become reactive during vet visits. As a COVID‑era dog, she has had limited socialization. She is energetic, curious, and thrives with space, activity, and patience. We can no longer provide the time and engagement she deserves, and we hope to find her a loving home where she can continue to grow and feel supported.
