Athena is a sweet, older Akita with a calm and gentle demeanor. She enjoys a quieter lifestyle and would do best in a home that appreciates her relaxed, affectionate nature. She would be a wonderful match for someone seeking a mature,, easygoing dog. Athena is recommended for a family without children or with kids at least 10 years of age, and if considered for a multi-dog household, a meet at the shelter will be required prior to departure to be sure that Athena is relaxed and open to her new friend.
