Meet Athena – The Perfect Mix of Spunk & Snuggles! Quick Facts: Name: Athena Breed: Corgi/Labrador Retriever Mix Age: 11 years Weight: 43 lbs House-Trained: Yes! Crate-Trained: Not needed—has excellent house manners Other Pets: Would prefer to be the only pet, but can coexist with calm dogs/cats Good with Kids: Best in a calm home without young children Energy Level: Medium—playful & loves walks but also a great nap buddy Special Needs: Athena likely has arthritis or dysplasia Why You’ll Love Athena: - A mix of Corgi’s spunky personality & Lab’s affectionate loyalty - Loves daily walks & exploring the yard—your new adventure buddy - Excellent house manners—no crate needed, no accidents - Super smart & knows her commands - Sweet, sensitive, and will form a deep bond with her people - Very low-maintenance & happy to relax by your side About Athena’s Breed Mix: Athena’s Corgi/Lab heritage makes her a delightful combo of energy, intelligence, and loyalty. Corgis are known for their high smarts and playful energy, while Labs are famously friendly, eager to please, and affectionate. Together, this mix brings you a fun-loving, sturdy, loyal pup who’s as happy chasing after a ball as she is snoozing at your feet. Athena’s Story & Personality: Athena is a big dog in a smaller body who still has lots of playful zest despite being a senior! She’s had a rough journey—twice surrendered through no fault of her own when her families moved—and now she’s looking for a forever home that’s truly forever. Athena can be a bit anxious with new people and unfamiliar places, but with patience, love, and a few tasty treats, she’ll warm up and shower you with loyalty and affection. She thrives in a calm, predictable environment and loves routine. Once she bonds, she’s the kind of dog who will be your devoted best friend. Athena’s Perfect Home: A calm, stable household, ideally no other pets (or very laid-back ones), a fenced yard to enjoy the sunshine & sniff around, a home without stairs due to her mild arthritis and someone who will cherish her & keep her safe forever. Ready to Make Athena Yours? Athena is spayed, up-to-date on all her shots, and ready to move in and love you endlessly. If you’re looking for a devoted, affectionate companion for life’s next chapter, Athena is your girl.

Adopt Athena and Receive Athena's Fund
Adopting a pet can be expensive, and we're trying to help by fundraising for each individual in need of adoption. After verifying the adoption, Athena's new family will receive the funds that their pet has raised.
$0.0 is Athena's current balance
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. If you adopted the Athena, thank you for providing a home and a loving family!
Please begin the process of claiming Athena's contribution here.
For adoptions in which nokillnetwork.org was the matchmaker and we have contact information for both parties, we make every effort to contact the adopting family. For adoptions that were not facilitated by nokillnetwork.org, we still encourage the adopting family to claim the contribution by submitting the necessary information.
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. The adopting family will be required to provide proof of adoption between 4-6 weeks after adoption. This is to ensure that the home is a good match and Athena was not returned. After we have verified the adoption, Athena’s balance will be sent to the adopting family. Our staff provides instructions and help throughout this process.
We want the Athena’s balance to go to the adopting family as a way to say thank you for providing a loving home and to help with pet care expenses. In the unfortunate event we cannot contact them and verify the adoption, Athena’s balance will remain in our general fund. This fund may be used to match contributions made to other adoptable pets, incentify other adoption-related actions, promote our mission, or support the operating expenses of nokillnetwork.org. If you would like to make a direct contribution to nokillnetwork.org to help us help other pets in need, you can go here. We appreciate your generosity and help!
