The Kingsville Times is a proud partner and supporter of the Windsor/Essex County Humane Society. As a non-profit organization, the WECHS depends on the generosity of our community to help pets like  Athena, an 11-month-old female Labrador Retriever.

Athena came to WECHS from Texas and is so excited to be a Canadian girl now. She has  spent the last couple of weeks in a wonderful foster home where her foster mom gave us this update.

“Athena is a wonderful puppy! though she needs to work on her manners. She is a very active dog so would do best in a home with active people that will walk and play with her. Because she is very playful she is a jumper so she may do better with older more sturdy kids.

“Cats are a curious thing so she’ll bark and do play poses but doesn’t understand what ‘no’ means. A cat that can handle this would be best. You’ll need to make sure there isn’t anything in reach of her as she will take it and chew/ eat it. She does well in her crate but doesn’t know ‘bed’ command yet. She loves her  toys!”

If you think you have the time, patience and love for a young girl like Athena, then please fill out an application so we can discuss this girl more with you!

If you no longer see her picture,  that means she had been adopted.  Please consider one of her many friends who are still looking for their forever loving homes. You’ll find them at https://windsorhumane.org/dogs-puppies
