About Athena
Athena may be shy right now, but her name carries the spirit of quiet strength. In Greek mythology, Athena is the goddess of wisdom and courage — qualities this beautiful border collie mix is just beginning to show as she settles into safety.She was rescued in the nick of time from a high‑kill shelter where her days were running out. After such an overwhelming start, it’s no surprise she’s cautious with new people. But in her foster home, Athena is already adjusting, observing, and taking everything in with gentle curiosity.With patience and a calm environment, her confidence will continue to grow. We can already see the makings of a loyal, thoughtful companion who simply needs the chance to feel secure. Athena is a bit of an athlete so we recommend her home have a 6 ft. fenced in yard._________________________________________________________________________Adoption Donation for Athena is $ 525.00WANT TO MEET AthenaThe first step would be for you to go to our website at www.aear.org and then to the “Adopting a Pet” page to read about our Adoption Process which will answer many of your questions and then to fill out an Adoption Application.Also, please visit our very active Facebook Page for updates on Athena and our other adoptable pets with AEAR - www.facebook.com/aear.org
