Everyone knows that “Doc” Holiday is the love of my life. Thanks to the 
amazing efforts of The Dog Liberator, he was able to be rescued on the eleventh hour from a kill shelter in Alabama. This group finds some of the most beautiful, well-mannered, adoptable dogs in the country, takes them into foster care and unites them with caring, conscious people like you. Please think of this incredible non-profit group when you’re searching for your own next best friend. I hope that you’ll support their tireless devotion to find wonderful dogs and match them up with the luckiest families!
I invite you to read more about Gisele and her group. I know you’re going to love them too!

Andi Brown & “Doc” Holiday
I first saw Athena the same way I see most of the dogs I foster – on Facebook. Athena and her puppy, Eos, were in Gordon County, and their time was running short. One day after work, Vicki and I hopped in her truck, and drove up to Gordon County. When we got there, they told us about the two dogs we came to see. They said the larger one was male, and the puppy a female. It was quickly evident, however, that the shelter confused their genders. They said that they couldn’t really get very close to Athena, or Eos, for that matter. Athena, they said, would get defensive when they tried to get close to her, and Eos just wouldn’t move around. On this, they were right. It took us hours to get both Athena and Eos leashed up and out of the shelter.
The minute that Athena stepped out of the shelter, something changed. The defensive, unsure dog we saw inside the shelter turned into a happy, loving, and appreciative young lady. Eos, though, took a little while to warm up to people. 
When we bring in a new foster, we can only guess what they had been through in their last life. At first, Eos was attached to Athena. He wouldn’t accept affection from people, and would prefer to lay down across the room from you as opposed to being anywhere near a person. Athena, like any good mother, sheltered Eos from “scary things.” If she sensed he felt uneasy, she’d form a cuddly wall between me and Eos, gladly accepting the affection I would give her. Over time, we watched Eos develop as a puppy, taking baby steps toward trusting people. All the while, Athena has been our little “Velcro dog.”
Athena spends most of her time hanging out with her best friends- Raider, Daisy, Kyma, Bella, and Paw Paw. She loves cuddling up next to Steve, Vicki, or me, especially when we’re watching TV or just talking and having a cup of coffee.
Athena is being fostered in the Atlanta, GA area. If you are interested in this magnificent and loving sweet girl, please email Khaz at khaz.thedogliberator@gmail.com.
