About Athena

ATHENA ARRIVED AT ALI IN 2017 WITH A YOUNG PUPPY, AFTER THEY WERE BOTH FOUND UNDER AN ABANDONED HOME IN OKLAHOMA. IT WAS OBVIOUS THAT ATHENA WAS A STREET DOG AND NEVER KNEW THE LOVE OR TOUCH OF A HUMAN. SHE WAS A GREAT MOM AND HER PUPPY WAS ADOPTED QUICKLY. ATHENA IS STILL LEARNING HOW TO BE A DOG AND INTERACT WITH HUMANS. SHE HAS MADE SMALL BUT NOTICEABLE IMPROVEMENTS WHILE SHE HAS BEEN HERE AND POTTY TRAINED HERSELF! WHILE STILL A LITTLE AFRAID OF NEW PEOPLE AND QUICK MOVEMENTS, SHE IS WALKING ON A LEASH AND IF DONE SLOWLY, SHE WILL ALLOW SOME HUMAN TOUCH. SHE LOVES HER PEANUT BUTTER AND CHEW TOYS! ATHENA WILL MOST LIKELY ALWAYS BE A SHY GIRL AND WILL NEED SOMEONE WHO IS WILLING TO ACCOMMODATE HER SPECIAL EMOTIONAL NEEDS. WITH THE RIGHT PERSON, WHO WILL GIVE HER LOTS OF TIME AND LOTS OF LOVE, SHE CAN BE A GREAT COMPANION. SHE WOULD PREFER A HOME WITHOUT OTHER ANIMALS OR CHILDREN.
