Meet ATHENA

Meet Athena, a lovely 4-year-old Boxer mix searching for a new home. Athena has faced many challenges in the past few weeks and is eager to find a loving family to help her relax and move forward.A couple of weeks ago, Athena was surrendered to the shelter by her previous family. She was briefly adopted for about a week but was returned because she became nervous and flighty in new situations. This made it difficult for her adopter to catch her in a fenced yard after being let off her leash. Athena is housebroken, crate-trained, and enjoyed spending time with her adopter's other dog.Once Athena feels comfortable and secure, her true personality shines. She is incredibly friendly and affectionate and thrives outside of the shelter environment. This lovable girl needs a patient and understanding family who can give her the time to adjust and decompress.If you are looking for a sweet and loyal companion, Athena would love to meet you! You will inspire her to thrive in her new life by providing her with a safe and loving home. Your patience and kindness will lead to a truly grateful friendship. Come say hi and give her the opportunity to brighten your life and hers!
