About Athena

Poor Athena sure hasn't had an easy time of it lately. First, she was abandoned by her owner in her home where she was left with another dog. She came in terrified and super skinny and we think the other dog wasn't allowing her to eat what food was left because the other dog wasn't skinny. Now she's here at the shelter and she is just terrified. She's starting to liven up in her kennel more but she is still too terrified to do anything but hide outside of her kennel. Even during her dog test she just laid on the floor quivering and did not move at all. She will crawl up in your lap but that's all she wants to do. Athena is clearly a shy submissive girl that thinks the world is terrifying and despite all this fear she's been very nice to the staff. She's slowly coming around to walking on a leash inside the building but outside she just freezes. Athena is estimated to be around 5 years old and weighs just 26 lbs. She is underweight though and could use a few more pounds. Athena would love to get out of here and learn what life in a safe and calm home could be like. Are YOU the one that is going to show this girl how sweet home life could be? If so, please apply online at rosscountyhumanesociety.org. Athena's adoption fee is $132.
