A cute unwanted dog is hellbent on finding a new home and he loves to dig despite only have three legs.

Athena the German Shepard was rescued at just two-years-old.

She was previously kept in horrific conditions with two other dogs.

She had an untreated wound on her front leg which was severely infected.

Despite efforts to save her, RSPCA vets were forced to make the decision to amputate it.

She underwent the operation at Birmingham Animal Hospital.

Although she only has three-legs, Athena has not let this hold her back, as reported by What’s The Jam.

The adorable pup still finds a way to enjoy all the things other dogs do – such as digging, playing in water – playing fetch and sniffing games.

According to the RSPCA, Athena will need an owner with experience of looking after a reactionary dog.

She cannot move into a home with cats but she can live with children over the age of 15.

Paula Flitney, deputy manager at RSPCA Blackberry Farm Animal Centre, in Aylesbury, said: “We all just adore Athena, she is the friendliest dog who is also just super smart.”

“She is so affectionate and she has really bonded with her handlers and she will make someone the most loyal pet.

“She is one of those dogs who just really deserves to have a second chance and a family and home to call her own.

“Whoever adopts her will have a loyal loving best friend – and she really is that dog in a million.

“Despite only having three legs she loves playing with toys and tennis balls are her absolute favourite.

“She is an incredibly clever girl who engages well with training and learns things quickly which makes her an absolute joy to work with.

“She has adapted incredibly well to life on three legs, and it doesn’t hold her back at all – she’s just an absolute angel and so much fun to be.

“The amount of exercise she has will need to be limited so she is looking for an owner who is willing to provide her with lots of mental enrichment and a home with a secure garden in a quieter area so that she can relax and play at her own pace.”

Paula added: “Sadly Athena has found kennels to be very stressful and so we are desperate to find a home for her.

“She does struggle in the presence of other dogs and can sometimes alarm bark in new situations as well.

“Thankfully she has been doing amazingly with her training and has come on so well in her ability to cope in these situations.

“She is also crate trained and enjoys quiet time away from her kennels where she can fully relax.”

“She is looking for patient adopters who are able to continue her positive gradual exposure to new situations.

“Ideally adopters will also have experience with shepherds or reactive dogs but adopters with an eagerness to learn and engage in training are also encouraged to get in touch.

“I know that there is someone out there who will be able to offer Athena the perfect home life she so thoroughly deserves – especially given what she has been through in her short life.

“We are asking anyone who thinks they might be able to rehome Athena to please get in touch with us to find out more – we can offer lots of support and help during the rehoming process.

“And even if you can’t offer her a home – please do share her story – as we know that somewhere out there – someone has a space in their life for this incredible girl.”
