Athenspets.net is updated with current pictures twice per week and updated status reports of each dog every other day or so. We keep it as current as we can, but there are times when you may see a dog featured here who may not still be available. Call Animal Control if you have questions about a dog.

The image of cold dogs, lying on a hard, often wet cement floor paints a bleak picture of life in an animal shelter. That is why the Kuranda Dog Bed Company created a Donate a Bed Program to help provide dogs in shelters across the country with comfortable raised beds where they can relax during the time they are in the shelter. If you would like to help a shelter dog by providing a warm, dry, comfortable off the floor bed, just visit www.kuranda.com and click on “Donate a Bed” for the shelter of your choice.


Please, Do not donate the following:

NO comforters (they are too big for our wash machine)

NO ‘Ol Roy or Fred’s food or treats

NO Rawhides (these cause gastro-intestinal blockages and can kill dogs)

NO bed sheets (they are too big and thin)

NO flimsy plastic toys (they are chewed through)

Please help us make our pups as comfortable as they can be during their stay at our shelter.
