Athena is such a sweet, intelligent dog that has been with us for about 5 years. She is too smart and athletic for her own good sometimes which means she likes jumping gates and fences. Outdoors and room to run is where she lives her best life. She loves her human loyally and loves affection. She was adopted when she was about 1.5 years old where she was previously a stray, which means she does have some lingering issues from that life. She deserves the best home who can help her with them safely.
