WELCOME TO CAMP COCKER RESCUE, ATHENA!
ANOTHER SHELTER DOG/MEDICAL DOG RESCUE COMES TO CAMP COCKER!
❤️❤️❤️
Her name is Athena and she is a nice, friendly, scruffy little terrier mix girl, estimated to be 3-4 years old, and only twelve pounds - with an orthopedic injury.
We know she isn’t a cocker spaniel but we have a hard time saying no to a medical dog that has no chance for adoption from the general public. Athena’s X-rays showed a luxated (dislocated) left hip that required FHO surgery to repair.
Athena had her FHO surgery on Monday 12/11/23. The surgery has been followed by simple at-home physical therapy (a few weeks of Range of Motion exercises, and slow controlled walks) provided by her foster mom.
Athena is being fostered in Portland, Oregon, now, and here is what her foster mom has to say about her:
Athena has lots of puppy energy, and . . .
Loves to give kisses and be wherever I am
Loves attention and will push my hand with her head for pets
Has a very loud bark, and sometimes barks at outside noises and at people passing by on walks
She will also bark if left alone for more than a short period of time
Perfectly quiet and well behaved in her crate overnight
Definitely making progress with her potty training
Confident walking on leash, but is reactive to strangers
Chases the cat, but in a curious, playful way
No aggression whatsoever
Very playful!
Loves toys and balls
Likes to twirl, talk, and throw toys in the air
She'd love another dog who would play with her
She’s very dog-social and another dog in the home that she can be playful with is very important to her!
Mostly quiet when I leave (aside from occasionally barking at some outside sounds) and seems content with the company of my dog & cat
She is very sweet!
Learning "sit", "potty", "quiet" and "leave it"
Such a good girl when I groom her and didn't seem to mind the clippers at all
Barks at the vacuum, haha
Is, overall, a really great dog!
