Athena - Black Mouth Cur and Boxer Dog for Adoption in Valparaiso, Indiana

Meet Athena!

Athena is an 8-month-old Black Mouth Cur/Boxer mix who is all puppy and all heart! This sweet girl is full of energy, curiosity, and excitement for everything life has to offer. We think she'll grow into an incredible companion with the right guidance and plenty of love.

Like any young pup, Athena is still learning her basic manners. She'll need a family that's ready to invest time in training, consistency, and positive reinforcement to help her become the best dog she can be. She's eager to learn and has so much potential just waiting to shine.

Athena has a friendly, affectionate personality and loves being around people. We think she would likely do well with children and would probably enjoy having another playful dog to show her the ropes.

If you're looking for a fun-loving puppy to grow alongside your family, Athena is ready to fill your home with laughter, adventure, and unconditional love.

Because most of our dogs come to us as strays, we cannot guarantee that they are house-trained.
