enjoys peaceful days and a daily walk, Athena may be your perfect match. Around the house, Athena is calm, relaxed, and happiest curled up for a nap. She absolutely loves her morning walks—and she'll make sure you don't forget! Every morning she "talks" and howls to let her family know it's time to head out, one of her most lovable and entertaining quirks. Athena is fully house trained and has wonderful manners in the home. She doesn't need a crate and can be trusted to lounge around and sleep while you're away. She knows basic commands like sit, lay down, and shake, walks beautifully on a leash, and rides well in the car. During family meals, she'll happily sit under the table hoping for a little attention, but she's quick to listen if you ask her to move. She has been wonderful with children and currently lives with kids ranging from 4 to 9 years old. She's affectionate in her own quiet way and will gently nudge your hand when she'd like some extra pets. Athena does need the right home when it comes to other animals. She can be reactive toward unfamiliar dogs, especially larger ones, and has shown aggression toward cats. Because of this, she would do best with an adopter who understands dog reactivity and can continue managing and reinforcing the progress she's already made. She has improved and will respond when redirected by someone she trusts. She has also done well with chickens and can eventually accept some smaller dogs after slow, careful introductions. Athena's ideal home would have a securely fenced yard and a family that enjoys a leisurely morning walk followed by a relaxing day together. She doesn't need hours of exercise—one good walk and she's content to spend the rest of the day snoozing nearby. If you're looking for a loyal, low-key companion with a big personality, adorable morning conversations, and lots of love to give, Athena is ready to find her forever home. Dogs are not placed on a first-come first-serve basis. We strive to find the perfect home for each animal, applications may take up to 48 hours to complete. All CAWS animals are fixed, microchipped, and vaccinated. Athena's adoption fee is $200. If you are interested in adopting Athena, or another CAWS animal, please fill out an application here: caws/adoption-application. If you are interested in adopting a CAWS pet, please fill out an online application at caws/adoption-application

  1. Do your research - find out what types of dogs would be a good fit for your lifestyle and the activity level of your family. Also keep in mind the grooming needs of certain breeds that might require frequent maintenance.
  2. Decide what you can handle - before you get sucked in by all the adorable puppy eyes you're about to see, think long and hard about the appropriate age dog for your family or if you are capable of caring for a special needs dog. Puppies are a lot of work, if you don't have time for potty training and obedience classes you'll want to consider an older dog. There are plenty of middle aged, vibrant dogs up for adoption as well as many senior dogs that would be a great fit for a family looking for a more subdued dog with lots of love to give.
  3. Learn about the shelters and their adoption policies - It might be easier to start looking at shelters within a certain radius of home but don't be afraid to venture out to other states as well. Many states have larger populations of adoptable dogs and their shelters are willing to transport pets to suitable adopting families. Some shelters might have requirements for a home visit, a fenced yard or require you to visit the pet multiple times before you commit to adopting. Understand that the shelters are doing their best to place the pets in suitable homes and these requirements are in the best interest of both you and the pet
  4. Start looking… - Once you know what you're looking for and what to expect you can start your search through thousands of adoptable dogs. PuppyFinder allows you to search by age, breed, location and gender.
  5. Meet in person. - Whenever possible it is best to meet the animal in person before agreeing to bring them into your life. Even though photos and descriptions can tell you a bit about a dog, you can't get a true feeling for the animal until you are able to interact with them and make sure they are a good fit for your entire family, including other pets.
