Hi, my name is Athena and I am a pretty small puppy, for now, but I do have long lanky legs and big german shepherd ears. Just wait to see how big I am once I grow into my ears. I love for my foster dad to love on me and certainly enjoy makng my foster sisters jealous with all of the love and attention I request. I am working very hard on my potty training, but sometimes, I just forget that I am supposed to let someone know that I have to potty, but I am trying really hard to remember.
I absolutely love to play chase and I will chase anything that you throw. I haven't quite learned that I am supposed to bring it all the way back for you to throw again, but I will learn that, it's just a matter of time. My favorite thing to do though is to play with the big dogs. I keep messing with them until they get up and run around with me.
Just take a look at my cute puppy face, don't you want to be my forever home?
Love, Athena
NOTE: In our experience many German Shepherd Dogs are very good with kids. In our bios, we may provide information on our experience with a particular dog and children. However AGSDR discourages ALL unsupervised animal/child interaction. Children should be supervised at all times when they interact with ANY animal, whether it is a horse, dog, cat, bunny, lizard, or any other species. Even loving household pets can have a grumpy day, or otherwise get tired of a child's attention, so proper supervision is essential for the well being of any child and any pet.
The entire biography of this dog is based solely upon our volunteers' experiences with the dog. The dog's age and weight are estimates, and statements about the health, temperament, training, and ability to get along with other animals, children, cats and other dogs, are estimated solely based on our volunteer's experiences with this dog. Your experiences with this dog may be quite different than those of our volunteers.
