Athena

Meet Athena 🐾

Athena is a quiet, gentle soul who is learning to trust after spending years as a stray. When she first entered foster care, she was frozen in fear — but in just one week, she began walking on a leash, going in and out on her own, and even doing happy zoomies in the yard. Her progress has been truly heartwarming.
