Meet Athena!
The big brown eye puppy dog look that will get even the hardest heart to give up 1/2 their hamburger….Athena has mastered this.
The eyes of an angel? Maybe, so far no shenanigans from this precious face. Those eyes tell a story of confusion and despair.
Hello everyone, my name is Athena and I was surrendered to BARC as a euthanasia request in poor condition. My puppy feeding appendages were very used and my body was very thin. It looked as if I had manufactured quite a few litters in my day.
Now after sitting a few days on the scary e-list back in July, I’m spayed, safe, and comfortable. AND best part, I been in a Foster Home for a month now. Things are looking up.
Imagine being discarded. It’s a scary feeling, but it’s actually a good thing or so I’m learning.
I was timid at first, I wasn’t sure if my Foster Mom was going to be a good egg or a bad egg. Turns out she is sunny side up!
I’m getting more attention and food and medicine than I ever got before. Including heartworm medicine because I tested positive for those pesky worms.
My personality does match the gaze in my eyes. Sweeter than Bill Millers tea, but not if you’re a cat. I’m not a cat person.
I do get along with dogs, but truly I’m really a people person. I adore human attention and cuddles. So despite being “good with dogs”, I’d make a smashing only dog. I don’t need another canine to validate my existence.
At the shelter they quickly learned that I knew several commands and I am calm, gentle, and willing to start over fresh with a very cool kind and gentle human who will never ever drop me off like a used pair of sneakers.
