Athena

Athena was featured on 11Alive news one night soon after Kaye and I moved from Florida to the Atlanta area. She had been shot in both front legs and thrown in a sewer. Someone heard her cries and contacted Animal Control. Animal Control responded, freed her from the sewer and took her to T&C. Dr. Good treated her injuries and we fostered her while she recovered and soon adopted her. She was approximately 3-4 months old at the time. She is now 10 and sleeps with us every night. Her eye sight is started to decrease as well as her energy level but she is and always will be a survivor and my Baby Girl!  -Dean and Kaye Nipper
