Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Zeus's adoption fee is $375.
Zeus is a rambunctious 15 lb. pup. He is neutered, micro chipped, up‐to‐date on his shots and has been fully vetted. We’re not sure of his ancestry – it has been suggested that he may be a mix of Miniature Pinscher, Chihuahua, Boston Terrier or Rat Terrier. Regardless of the breeds in his background, there’s no doubt he is a handsome fellow. He has a polished jet black with a white (chest & paws) coat and the most expressive ears!
At two years old he is still very much a puppy in many aspects of his behaviour. Though he is adorably cute, Zeus has not been around large dogs much, and because of this has a hard time properly greeting them. Spending supervised time at a dog park to continue his education is a must.
He is happy, and playful, funny and endearing, and is always up for one‐on‐one affection. He will share his toys and food with other dogs in the house, and initiate play with them. He will make you laugh like nobody can. He walks, and runs well on leash and can run “full‐out” beside a bicycle going 12 mph or run a 10k in under an hour. The breeds that make up this little guy tend to make him extremely energetic, inquisitive and a quick study.
There’s no doubt that he can be a little dog with a big attitude if left unchecked, so he works well with clear and consistent rules & boundaries in place. Once he understands that his humans (and the canine pack lead) are in the leadership role(s), he is a cooperative and eager‐to‐please pup who will follow you anywhere. A crucial element in Zeus’ daily existence is exercise. It makes him a happier, calmer and more manageable dog inside and outside the home. He is (very well) housetrained as long as you learn to recognize his “Need to go” signs. He is also used to a doggie‐door and will go out by himself if given the possibility of doing so.
Zeus is a smart, eager and playful pup. He is still a “work in progress” in certain areas, but is certainly a dog that is well worth the effort and who will reward you with tons of kisses and affection.
