(Adopted) ACD Sr Athena

3-3-21 Athena, DOB 11-24-14, comes into rescue as an owner surrender due to “getting over protective” as shown on her paperwork. Our phone conversation said that she was fighting with the puppy, and there was worry that the children/baby would be hurt.

Athena is a fearful dog, who came with out collar and was let out of the vehicle, where she promptly ran around scared. The owners were heart broken to surrender her and the emotions helped to make her more fearful, in my opinion. When you try to put a slip lead on her or when she meets a new person she pees and poops out of fear. Her paperwork from the vet also notes that she is extremely fearful and needs to be muzzled at the vet

She is currently in our senior dog social group, and is not causing problems with the other dogs. She loves to play fetch!
