Meet Athena

Add to favourites

Athena is a charming senior lady with a heart as big as her waistline-and just as full of love. Known for her expert biscuit-making skills (paw kneading is her specialty), Athena is ready to trade in the hustle and bustle for a peaceful retirement in a calm, loving home.

This sweet girl thrives in a quiet environment where she can be the center of attention. She prefers to be the only animal in the household-more space for her and fewer distractions from her favourite activities: napping, cuddling, and supervising snack time.

Athena is currently on a gentle weight-loss journey and will need a helping paw (or two) to stay on track with her new healthy routine. She’s also awaiting a dental procedure to get her smile back in top shape.

Athena is available for foster-to-adopt local to the South Okanagan area while she awaits her dental. If you are interested, please submit an application or contact 250-493-0136 for further information.
