Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Hello, my name is Zeus and I think we can have a heavenly life together. I am a high-octane southern boy who needs a bit of manners training. I originally came to WCHS from an over-crowded shelter in Alabama. I was adopted for a short time by a nice family with a couple kiddos but I was not a good match for them. I was a smidge too exuberant for the toddlers and I am still working on not being mouthy and should learn to keep four on the floor. I am also still working on house-training. I know that is usually a puppy issue but when I was in the south, I never had a chance to master that skill and a shelter environment is not the best training ground for good bathroom habits. I know I sound like a works-in-progress but I am certain I can learn and will be a magnificent pooch who will make you proud. I will need a job or two in order to burn some energy and work my brain; mental exercise can be very tiring and the adage about tired dogs is very true. It would be lovely to get involved in nose work or canine sports; my shepherd ancestry makes me very versatile. It would be wonderful if we could take an obedience class together so I could improve my manners; perhaps we could even try rally. To help with house-training, in my previous home I used a wire crate when I was alone but I found that a piece of cake to break out of. One suggestion might be to try a plastic crate that is a bit sturdier. I will also need plenty of opportunities to get outside for breaks and you could even try the umbilical cord method to keep a close eye on me until my potty behavior improves. A routine, lots of yummy treats and praise will go a long way to helping me master house-training when I use the outside facilities. I have been having a blast romping in the play groups at the shelter. I really enjoy playing with other pooches but appreciate slow and proper introductions to my pals. I am a fun-loving, friendly and quite handsome; I promise to be loyal and devoted to you forever. Come by to meet me in person and discover my dynamic brilliance. #2
