My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

It is our pleasure to introduce Zeus!

This special boy came from a kill shelter.
He's looking for a foster or forever home.
His current foster Mom who saved him from the shelter is truly ill and is looking at weeks of recovery and this is the only reason he needs to be moved from there. Here's a little about Zeus!

Zeus is a happy, high energy dog. Estimated to be 2yrs old, Great Dane x Black lab, he's well suited to someone active who can give him lots of walks and stimulation. He LOVES to fetch and is darn good at it. As you can see from his fist pic, he's not afraid to get his paws dirty while having some fun!! Fetch alone isn't usually enough to fully drain him, he should have a daily walk, but he will fetch for a good long time. He's a social guy that likes to get out and smell the roses! He does pull on leash so training with a gentle leader will help or an easy walk harness.

He's a very bright boy who trains and bonds quickly. All he wants is to please his people. He knows several commands including sit, down, stay and off. He needs an owner who is in control or he can slip easily into behaviours to seek attention (jump up with paws on counter or shake pillows as toys). As long as he knows these are not acceptable, and feels you are in charge - he won't misbehave. This also comes back to his exercise. No one likes to be bored smile emoticon

Zeus is extremely good with people - sometimes he will mouth if allowed but he is gentle to extreme. He is terrific with other dogs off leash and has made great improvements when meeting them on leash as well. He really is a love bug. After his walk, a game of fetch or some tug, he's ready to curl up and snuggle. He does enjoy the companionship of the resident senior female in the home and will snuggle up to her when it comes nap time.

If you think Zeus could be the boy for you, please visit our website at www.furkidsrescue.ca and complete the adoption application on the left hand side of the page.
