Athena is around 6 years old. She was rescued as a puppy from questionable living conditions and we’ve had her ever since. She’s a gorgeous, loving soul. Highly Intelligent. A Huntress of Bunnies. Protective. She’ll bark at passerby’s if the blinds are open. She likes being close and curling up next to you to take a nap. She’s anxious. Often, we’ll find her tail tucked between her legs and don’t know why. She’ll bark at strangers, but tends to warm up within the first couple hours. We’ve done my best to help her with solely positive reinforcement training but, we are just not home enough to give her the time and exercise she needs, and I’m hoping someone can give her a better life than we are able to.
She did fine with my sister’s 80lb American Bulldog, when they warmed up to one another, but she’s not doing well with the 30lb Australian Shepard, and cat in the home.
We think she’d be best solo, or in a home with bigger dogs.
We love her and we know you will too.
