My story

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

Hi everyone meet Zeus, He is approximately 8 years old.and older dogs are the best too.. . He is a small medium size male Portuguese hound also known as podengo. The breed originated from Portugal and use them for luring and hunting. Therefore he needs a good healthy run everyday, not too excessive because of his age. Nature walks is his favored thing to do because he can explore and mark every tree nearby.He eats solid food and loves treats. Gets along with cats, as long as he is put in his place by them (not aggressive) . He walks good on the leash, he gets too excited with other dogs around on the leash. If he can run without leash, he is very friendly. Likes kids who plays with them and tolerates small children as well.(he will walk away when a child is getting rough with him.) He likes to jump the fence that is twice as high as his size, we found that out in a hard way:-) Know how to lie down, give paw for a treat. His breed is extremely affectionate. He would follow us everywhere.
Skittish around cars that are close to the sidewalk and loud noises. Terrified of sounds of lightning and what comes after. Does not like the sound of a rain. He is terrified to the point where he shakes and drools and will not leave my side. He will be fixed and shots up date ..adoption fee is 150.00
