Athena in AZ

Athena is a gentle and slightly timid pup who is slowly coming out of her shell in her foster home. Loud noises startle her. She is sweet and affectionate and loves a good cuddle on the couch or sleeping on the bed at night with her foster mom. She will go in and out of an open crate, but is not really interested in spending time in the crate.

She follows her foster brother around and has taught herself to go in and out of the dog door. She has also started playing and scattering toys and doing zoomies with her foster sister. She will stand on her hind legs for treats and is a good traveler in the car.

During Athena’s time in foster care, she has not been exposed to children, men or cats, but given her timid nature we think if there are children in her adoptive home, they should be older, considerate kids.

Athena has pretty severe tear stains beneath her eyes which we discussed with the vet. He noted that the skin underneath her coat is clear and suggested to keep the coat/hair below her eyes trimmed daily. We are also trying a non-chicken diet to see if the stains improve.

Athena is being fostered in Arizona.
