Athena is a sweet pittie mix that is nearly 2 years old. She loves kids and especially being read to by kids. This girl minds her manners and is very respectful. She doesn't know a stranger and loves all people.

She loves swimming and taking baths and anything involving water. She enjoys going on walks, joining you for runs, and getting her belly rubbed.

She has been returned to the rescue as she is no longer getting along with the resident dog. Athena most likely needs to be an only dog as she loves so hard that she gets jealous.

Aside from the dog reactivity, she is nearly the perfect dog and anyone would be lucky to have her.
