Athena is a 2-year-old Siberian Husky in Torrington, who needs $1,720 for C-Section.

We adopted Athena at 8 weeks old from a friend and has been in our life since, she is now almost 3 years old and has been an amazing addition to our family, our 3 year old son absolutely adores his “Thena” and she means the world to us. We couldn’t picture our lives without her, she was the missing puzzle piece to our family.

Athena has an older doggie sister named Zoey who is 5 years old and they are best friends, they mimic each other and follow each others lead on everything. Athena loves to love and be loved but also has so much energy and wants to play all the time, my 3 year old son loves to play around with her and is always calling for her.

Athena is special to me because my whole life I wanted a Husky, my fiancé surprised me with her for my birthday and she has filled my heart with so much love since. She brightens our day. She is everything I could have asked for and more, she listens so well and will do anything to protect our family.

In March 2023, we decided to breed Athena because we wanted another title Husky to add to our family. It was a success and Athena was pregnant. On May 17th Athena went into labor and birthed two little puppies. Later that day, we brought her to the emergency vet to find out she still had two puppies stuck in her birth canal and her stomach. She required an emergency C-Section to save her life.

Me and my fiancé both work full time jobs, but between our fur babies, and our son and bills, we were not expecting the bill that we had due to her surgery. Luckily we found Pieper Vet and they helped us with a payment plan to save Athena’s life.
