What volunteers have to say about this animal:
Meet Zeus Clay – Gentle Soul, Bashful Buddy, Tug-of-War Champ
At 3 years old, Zeus is a shy but lovable boy with a big heart and a soft spirit. This medium-sized American Pit Bull Terrier mix (around 60 pounds) is still finding his footing in the noisy shelter world—but give him a little patience, and you’ll see the warm, goofy side that’s waiting just beneath the surface.
When he first arrived, Zeus was hesitant to approach new people. But once outside, he walked beautifully on leash, taking comfort in quiet surroundings and gentle voices. He’s learning that the world isn’t so scary, and every day he grows a little braver—especially when tennis balls or tug ropes are involved!
What Zeus Loves Most: - Chasing tennis balls and playing gentle games of tug-of-war - Calm, kind people who let him go at his own pace - Earning treats for showing off his tricks—he knows “sit,” “wait,” and even “shake!”
What Zeus’s Ideal Home Looks Like: - Children 12+ who understand shy dogs - Possibly another dog, on a dog-by-dog basis - Comfortable with cats—he’s lived with them before - A quiet, reassuring home that will help him build confidence day by day
Once Zeus feels safe, his tail starts to wag, his eyes brighten, and he leans in for those ear rubs he’s come to love. He’s a tenderhearted dog who just needs the right people to show him that love and safety are here to stay.

Condensed Staff Assessment Notes: Zeus is somewhat reserved around unfamiliar people but has made progress in overcoming his fears. Given time, he will approach on his own and prefers to interact with other dogs. He shows a strong desire to play while generally behaving appropriately.
During walks, Zeus enjoyed himself more and startled less at outside noises, walking well on a leash. Inside, he showed less stability around everyday objects but recovered quickly and willingly approached when called. He responded positively to handling and command
