Meet Athena, who just like her namesake, is very wise; she even knows how to sit! She’s a 7-year-old, tan-and-white pit bull mix weighing 58 pounds. She’s a total sweetheart that loves people. She appears to be house-trained, rides well in the car and walks great on her leash. She’s a gentle, loving gal who will bring joy to your home. Athena has been spayed, microchipped and received all age-appropriate vaccinations. If you have another dog, please bring them to meet her to see if they get along. #154568
