Athena is a young, energetic girl who came to us because her owner could no longer care for her. Athena can be wary of new people but once you have gained her trust she is all about getting lots of love and cuddles! She loves to run and play in our fenced area. Her previous owner told us that Athena is good with other animals but she would like to meet any other dogs in the home prior to adoption. If you can give this beautiful young girl a patient, adventurous, and loving forever home, apply today! Visit Athena at the Venango County Humane Society from noon to 5 p.m. Mondays through Saturdays.
