Athena

German Shepherd · Female · Young · 3 years

Athena is a bright and intelligent German Shepherd cross with a playful nature and a huge love of toys. Once she has built a bond with her favourite people, she enjoys spending quality time with them, whether that's a game with a tennis ball, carrying a treasured toy around a paddock or simply relaxing nearby with a chew. Athena is looking for a calm, adult-only home where she can settle in at her own pace. She can sometimes feel worried in unfamiliar situations and would benefit from owners who have experience with Shepherd breeds, or who understand dogs that can be anxious or reactive at times. In the right home, Athena has all the potential to become a loyal and rewarding companion. Athena would need to be the only dog in the home. She can feel uncomfortable when unfamiliar dogs approach her directly, particularly during face-to-face greetings or when dogs are overly boisterous. She much prefers slower introductions, giving her time to observe and build confidence. Athena has shown that she can walk happily alongside calm, polite dogs and often relaxes once she gets to know them, but she is not a dog who needs lots of canine friends and may be happiest with a small circle of familiar walking companions. Athena enjoys getting out and about and is currently working on her loose-lead walking skills. She can be strong on the lead at times, but she has been making lovely progress and is responding well to her training. Her new owners should feel confident handling a larger dog and be committed to continuing the work that has already been started. One of Athena's greatest joys in life is her toys. Soft toys, tennis balls and chews are among her favourite things, and she can often be found proudly carrying them around. Toys are a great way to bond with Athena, and while she is happy to entertain herself, she also enjoys interactive play with her favourite people. Athena is a wonderful dog with so much potential. She is searching for patient and understanding owners who will appreciate her sensitive nature, continue supporting her training journey and give her the time she needs to flourish. In return, they will gain a fun, intelligent and devoted companion who loves nothing more than spending time with the people she trusts.
