In her free time, she enjoys trying new recipes, spending time with her family and fur babies, and finding "where the locals eat" in every town that she visits.

Athena

Therapy Dog

Athena (our therapy dog) began her journey in animal assisted therapy in August 2019. Her sensitive and intuitive nature brings just the right amount of calm to the therapy room, and sets even the most anxious hearts at ease. She works diligently to help you feel comfortable, and then withdraws to her bed for a quick nap when she senses she is no longer needed. She has a special gift of welcoming each person with excitement hour after hour, and often reluctantly goes home in the evenings – earning her the label as one of our most dedicated and loyal employees!
