Athena - American Bully and American Staffordshire Terrier Dog for Adoption in Smithfield, North Carolina

Meet Athena! A 7 week old bully mix ready for her forever home! She weighs in at 8 pounds and loves playing with other dogs and toys. She’s more courageous than her little brother and has not met a person she hasn’t loved.

She’s great riding in a car and loves to go anywhere you go. She sleeps in her playpen overnight without any issues. She is still tiny so she’s working on leash walking and potty training, but she is a smart girl and food motivated so she will be easy to train. She’s great and enjoys bath time too!

If you think she’s the right fit for your home, please apply today!
