ATHENA (AL) - MALTESE DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Maltese. From the depths of hardship rises Athena — a resilient and radiant Maltese rescued from a hoarding situation. Her name may evoke strength, but it's her tender heart and sweet nature that truly define her. Athena is estimated to be 7 years old at the time of intake in July 2025. She is gentle, affectionate, and delighted to be among people and other dogs. She carries a quiet grace and a hopeful spirit, making her the perfect companion for someone ready to provide love and comfort. Her past may have been cluttered and chaotic, but her future holds the promise of soft blankets, belly rubs, and unconditional love. Now, Athena is waiting to begin a new chapter filled with kindness and care. If your heart feels ready to meet hers, apply online at .rescuedogsrocknyc and help her step into the life she’s always deserved. Please also be sure to reference her name as Athena (AL) in case of duplicate names within the rescue. Thank you!
