Athena is about 18 months, 8 lbs, of puppy sweetness. She is up-to-date on vaccines, current on her preventatives, and spayed.
Athena loves other dogs. She loves to be held and cuddled but is shy.
She is doing well with potty-pad training overall, but hasn't shown interest in going out on a leash or doing her business in the yard. This is fairly typical for dogs with her background. We believe she would do well in an apartment with continued potty-pad training. We think she would benefit from having a yard with opportunities to explore and discover how nice the outside can be.
Due to love of other dogs, we recommend that Athena have doggie siblings in her new home. She has not been tested with cats. Athena has met her foster's granddaughter and was very calm. Due to her size and shyness, we feel that a home with respectful, dog-savvy children would be possible. She would also be happy in an adult-only home.
Athena arrived in the first group of 10 dogs. A total of 25 dogs were surrendered to Fawn's as a part of a hoarding situation over two weekend in January.
All of our dogs are in wonderful foster homes waiting to be adopted. We recommend reviewing Fawn's Adoption Process before you complete your application.
Adopting a dog affects everyone in your household, before you apply make sure everyone is excited and ready to care for a new family member.
