Why I need a new home

Relocating

My story

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


Zeus lived with our neighbor and was the saddest, most pathetic dog I had ever seen. When his owner moved he was left behind. He had yeast and bacterial infections, was half bald from a flea allergy, and had bloody sores on his neck from a thick collar and heavy chain. Rarely allowed outside, he was chained to a table leg day and night and was left to urinate all over himself. He was afraid of everyone and everything. In the year since we have had him he has blossomed into a loving, affectionate, playful old man. The vet estimates he is 8-9 years old. We thought we would be his forever home, but I got very sick and now need to move out of state where my kids can take care if me. I am heartbroken, and despirate to find my boy a loving home. He is not fond of big dogs, but does great with little dogs, cats, and kids. He is housebroken and does a few tricks. Zeus just needs another chance!
