OUR MASCOT: "Athena"

As a fun side note we would like to give a little pat on the head to EMA's mascot "ATHENA the Great Dane" for passing her good citizenship training. She spent nearly three weeks with Charlie Holder from Charlie's K-9's in Clemmons, NC. She can now: Come when called, Heel, Sit, Lie Down and Stay. She can also nearly do all of these commands off leash! Big thanks to Mr. Holder. |
