Zeus is a 65lbs, 8-year-old, German shepherd mix with a polite endearing personality. He is is a sensetive, sweet, darling dog. Having spent a long time in the shelter with his sister quite fearful, it does take Zeus a moment to trust and he may flee at first introduction.
Zeus walks beautifully on leash, is house and crate trained (loves to hit snooze in the mornings), and is gentle and playful with all dogs including very small dogs. He takes direction super well, is very bonded with handlers and dogs once he bonds, and has a kindness to him we find quite special.
Zeus is up to date on vaccines, neutered, and ready to be adopted to a home with another dog.
Venus and Zeus have a fascinating backstory. They were surrendered to the shelter together as a bonded pair. They were so afraid they hid in the kennels for nearly a year until Zeus was cleared for euthanasia. They were ultimately saved 35 minutes before his deadline by a private party with the intent of rehoming them. Below is the story of their rescue from one of the volunteers who later became their foster. Venus and Zeus have since opened up in foster care and bonded with many people and dogs. They no longer need to stay together since they have shown the ability to adapt and bond with other dogs, however, if separated, each will need a second dog in their adoptive home.

More about this rescue
We are a group of volunteers and rescuers combining our skills to help fosters get a dog out of the shelter! The dogs in our program have begun house, crate, and leash training. Our fosters follow a handful of house rules. The transition to a new home is easiest for your dog when these structures are carried over for some time and privileges are gradually introduced. This helps minimize anxiety and behavioral issues.
