About Athena

FOSTER Or ADOPTER NEEDED: MEET ATHENA! This 1 year old beautiful girl is searching for her forever home or a new foster. Here is what Athena has to say: �'��I'm a certified survivor. Back when I was just 9 months old, I made it out of a high-kill shelter at the absolute final second during a serious parvo outbreak. I held on with everything I had, and now I'm ready for my real chance at a happy life. (Fun fact: camera angles can be tricky-I'm actually much more compact than my photos make me look!) �'��Here is the honest scoop on me: �'��Dog-Friendly with Simple Management: I love having dog friends to play and hang out with! The only rule is that mealtime needs to be separate. �'��Big Progress on Guarding: When I first landed in rescue, I was scared and guarded everything because having nothing makes you cling to what's yours. Thanks to patient fostering, I've made massive strides! Now, I only guard my high-value food and treats. As long as I can eat in my own private space (like a crate or quiet room) without interruptions, I do wonderfully. �'��Kid-Friendly: I love kids! Because I still get anxious if someone tries to reach into my food or take high-value chews, a home with dog-savvy or slightly older kids who understand basic mealtime boundaries is best. �'��Eager Learner: I've come such a long way, and I respond great to positive redirection and structured routines. �'��I didn't get my birthday wish of a forever home, but I haven't lost hope. Could you be the safe haven I need while I wait for my forever family? �'��Quick Stats: �'��Age: ~14 months (DOB ~late July 2025) �'��Energy Level: Young, playful, eager to please �'��Good with Dogs: Yes (separate feeding required) �'��Good with Kids: Yes (respectful of mealtime boundaries) �'��Needs: A home committed to structure, positive reinforcement, and feeding in a secure space �'��All supplies, vet care, and rescue support are provided for fosters. If interested, please contact Julie on 919 624 0059. She will be spayed before adoption.
