Athena - Labrador Retriever Dog for Adoption in San Diego, California

If you're searching for a clever companion to share your adventures, then you've found me! Hi there, I'm Athena, a beautiful Lab mix girl who entered the world on June 5, 2026. My journey began as one of twelve tiny souls, abandoned in the extreme heat and appalling conditions. It was a terrifying start, but thanks to an amazing Cantu volunteer, my five surviving siblings and I are now thriving and ready for our forever homes, full of happy puppy energy.

My personality is a wonderful blend of playful and thoughtful:

- Clever Explorer: My curiosity knows no bounds, and I absolutely love investigating new sights and smells, always eager to learn how the world works.
- Friendly & Outgoing: Meeting new people and experiencing new things is a joy for me; I'm always ready with a wagging tail and an eager spirit.
- Balanced Girl: While I love to play and discover, I also have a wonderfully steady energy, making me adaptable and ready for both exciting adventures and cozy cuddle sessions.

I'm working hard on my potty training basics and am already making great progress towards being a polite houseguest. Whether its chasing a favorite toy, exploring the yard, or snuggling up for a nap, Im ready to embrace all the wonderful experiences life has to offer. I can't wait to find a family who will continue to nurture my bright mind and loving heart.

My adoption fee is $550, this fee covers my first year of vaccinations, spay/neuter, and microchip. Do I sound like the dog for you? You can fill out an application to adopt me at http://www.thecantufoundation.org/adopt.html
