Athena (& Bella) - Dachshund and Chihuahua Dog for Adoption in Creston, Iowa

Isn't Athena cute?! She's so sweet. Approx. 12-13 yrs old, fixed, and current on her vaccinations. Due to her age, we did a blood panel to be sure she's in good health, and it came out great!

Athena is not alone however, she came into the rescue with her fursister Bella, a small terrier mix. Bella is also a senior, she's a bit older, approx. 15 years old; she's fixed and also current on vaccinations, with her blood panel results coming out good too!

Bella and Athena have been sharing their days for over a decade, so we're trying to find them a forever home together. They are both in great health for their age. They do have some house training issues, but their foster mama is working with them on that! :)

Bella has been camera shy, so only have a couple pics of her. We'll get more images of her cute face out there soon!

If interested in making these girls part of your pack, please visit our website at, www.doggonerescue.com, to fill out our adoption application. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to drop us a msg. We look forward to hearing from you! :)
