Dog of the Week: Truffle

8-20-25, female lab/terrier mix, 2yo, 48#, FOUND on Harmony Rd, Athens.

Meet Truffle, our resident party girl. Truffle is determined to have a good time in life and will bring you along with her. Because of her love for life, she does have a little FOMO (Fear of missing out). She is currently experiencing FOMO on the new Cane’s chicken that opened in Athens and is curious about pickleball. We are glad she missed the tide pod challenge (she would try anything once!), but the ultimate FOMO for her really is just having a family of her own.

Truffle has the most chocolatey coat and we’d put money on some chocolate lab in her ancestry. Despite her youthful exuberance, Truffle is very people motivated and loves to please her handler. She gives great eye contact, will sit on command, and looks back frequently to make sure you’re on the same page. Sure, she is young and needs some reminders that not all times are party time, but she is game to work with you on training!

In her future adopter, Truffle is looking for someone who likes to party like her. Specifically, Truffle enjoys hiking parties, pool/puddle parties, snuggle parties, you name it. Life is worth celebrating, and  this girl can turn any occasion into a joyful one.


To meet Truffle, call The Athens County Dog Shelter at 740-593-5415. If you cannot adopt, please consider fostering. You can fill out an application at https://www.fosdathens.com/foster
