Sweet Athena is a Great Dane mix who hasn’t had much experience out in the world. She is shy until she knows you and will need a patient owner who will slowly show her the good things the world has to offer. New people and places are a bit scary at first. She’s a lovely girl, a little over a year old, and is the kind of dog who will quickly become your soul dog. You can see in her face that she has stories to tell and she will be the best listener for your stories. She can live with adults and older children. She does fine with cats, too. Athena will be ready for adoption as soon as she is spayed. If you are interested in meeting her, please fill out our application at www.responsiblepetcare.org/dogs. An approved application is required for a meeting.
