Hi, my name is Athena, and I'm a super sweet little pup eagerly awaiting my forever home! I've been at the shelter for a bit now, and I'm quickly getting used to all the wonderful people here. I absolutely adore playing with toys and I'm quite the talker, always ready to share my thoughts with a happy bark or a playful whine.
As a Plott Hound, I'm known for being intelligent, courageous, and very loyal to my family. We Hounds thrive on companionship and enjoy having a 'job' to do, even if it's just playing fetch in the yard. I'll need consistent training and socialization to help me grow into a well-mannered adult, and my short coat means my grooming needs are quite low, though I do shed moderately.
My ideal home would be an active one that can provide plenty of exercise and mental stimulation. I have a high energy level and high exercise needs, so daily adventures like long walks, runs, or playtime in a securely fenced yard would be perfect. I get along great with other dogs, so a home with a canine sibling could be a lot of fun! I'm still a baby, so I'm looking for a family committed to my training and ready to welcome a playful, vocal, and loving companion into their lives.
