Meet Athena & Winter! đžâ¤ď¸
Athena and Winter are two approximately 3-year-old Chihuahua mixes who are ready to leave their past behind and find the loving homes they deserve!
These sweet little girls came into our care through Animal Control after being removed from a hoarding situation. Unfortunately, their general care had been somewhat neglected, but after spending the last couple of weeks with us, theyâre starting to get back on their feet, and weâre excited to begin looking for their forever homes!
Both Athena and Winter are timid-natured dogs who will need a little extra patience and understanding as they adjust to new people and environments. They arenât necessarily going to be the kind of dogs who immediately run up to greet you, but donât let their initial shyness fool you! Once theyâve had the opportunity to get comfortable and build some trust, theyâre both very sweet, friendly, and affectionate little companions.
Because of their background, we really donât know what kind of household manners or previous training they may have. We would encourage potential adopters to anticipate some house training and general adjustment as they settle into a home environment. The good news is that both girls seem to be doing well using potty pads here at the shelter, so that may be a helpful starting point depending on your household routine!
More than anything, Athena and Winter need families who understand that building trust doesnât happen overnight. They deserve the opportunity to explore their new surroundings, establish a routine, and come out of their shells at their own pace without feeling pressured or overwhelmed.
These girls havenât necessarily had the easiest start in life, but that doesnât mean their futures canât be wonderful! With a little patience, consistency, and plenty of love, we think both Athena and Winter have the potential to blossom into delightful little companions.
Whether youâre interested in Athena, Winter, or potentially welcoming both girls into your life, weâd love to help them find the fresh start they deserve! â¤ď¸
