My story

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

Zeus is a big, enthusiastic boy with an even bigger heart! He loves to meet new people and can get a little overexcited in the moment—his favorite way to say hello is by jumping up to make sure he gets your full attention. Because of this, Zeus would do best in an adult-only home with someone ready to help him work on his manners and channel all that energy into positive outlets.

Once he settles in, Zeus shows his sweet, affectionate side and loves spending time playing with his toys. With patience, consistency, and love, this playful giant has all the potential to grow into the well-mannered, loyal companion he’s meant to be.

If you’re looking for a fun-loving, goofy dog to share your life with—and you’re ready to help him shine—Zeus might just be your perfect match!

***Zeus has a discounted adoption fee to help them find their forever home! Please note that all applicants must still follow our standard adoption process and meet this pet’s specific requirements in order to be approved for adoption***

Additional adoption info

Come into the Centre and if you see a pet you like, you are able to do a "Meet and Greet" with that pet. Spend some time in alone with the pet or take a dog out for a short walk. If you are still interested in adopting the pet you can meet with one of our Adoption Counsellors who will have you fill out and application and will ask you some questions about the environment in which you live. If you seem like a wonderful match and your envirnoment meets the needs of the pet then your application should be approved!
