Athena

Athena is a resilient and beautiful American Staffordshire Terrier mix. We were notified about Athena when she was in a rural kill shelter, being overlooked and slowly giving up. She arrived with a broken soul, but has since begun emerging from her shell and learning how nice it is to be with caring people. Athena currently lives with canine foster brothers in a quiet foster home. She is socialized daily and is doing well meeting new people, although she can be timid at first. She is a gentle girl, loves her walks and outdoor play time, and snuggling up near her person and her canine friends. Athena has never shown any signs of aggression whatsoever but because of her initial shyness we feel that a home with children 12 or older would be best. Patience, continued socialization, exercise, and basic TLC is all this beauty needs to fully blossom. Athena has brought joy to her followers on social media and to all that she’s met in person…we hope she finds that special home that sees her true potential.
