My story

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

Zeus is a gentle, sensitive soul who just needs a little time to feel safe. Once he knows you’re his person, he’s all cuddles, pets, and devoted companionship. This sweet boy clearly loves deeply and forms strong bonds, making him an absolute joy to have around.

Zeus is excellent at communicating his boundaries and appreciates when his humans listen. He’s a big fan of head, chest, and neck scratches, and while he’s not crazy about back-end pets, he’ll politely boop your hand to let you know. Because of this, he’d do wonderfully with kids who understand and respect a dog’s cues.

He’s a smart, emotionally tuned-in pup who may have some big feelings—especially during things like vet visits—but he’s incredibly receptive to training and truly wants to do right by his person, even in stressful situations. He’s a blast to work with and clearly cares a lot about his human.

Zeus loves toys of all kinds (especially the ones he can enthusiastically de-fluff), enjoys calm, pleasant walks with minimal pulling, and naturally checks in with his handler—extra enthusiastically if treats are involved! He’s curious about other dogs and people without being reactive, though busy environments with fast-moving bikes or groups can make him a bit nervous. With positive counter-conditioning, he’s already making great progress.

He’s potty trained, crate training is coming along, and he may even be a great free-roam candidate (just don’t leave snacks on the counter!). Zeus does have a prey drive, so cats are an unknown, but he’s been easily redirected from chickens, sheep, and even a daily parade of wild turkeys—so with slow introductions, success is definitely possible.

Zeus is a wonderfully chill guy for how young he is. He loves engaging with his person but is just as happy snoozing through a lazy afternoon. If you’re looking for a loyal, affectionate companion with a big heart and gentle soul, Zeusy Boy might just be your perfect match. 🐶💫

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

Adoptable animals are located at our Taft Campus at 2200 N Taft Hill Rd, Fort Collins, CO 80524 or for more info call 970-484-8516.

The first step to adopting a cat or dog from Animal Friends Alliance is to fill out an adoption questionnaire. You can do this online!

The next step is to pick out a cat or dog! Check out our adoptable cats and adoptable dogs for pictures and short descriptions or come into the shelter at our Taft Hill campus. We also have adoptable cats at many offsite locations.

Note: not all available cats and dogs reside at our campuses. Some are at off-site adoption partners or in foster homes. If you are interested in a particular cat or dog, please call our shelter at (970) 484-8516 to find out about their current status and location.

We do not ship animals. You are required to come and meet your new addition prior to adoption so that we can ensure a good match.

Please note that we will make a copy of the adopters’ State ID card, Driver’s License or passport at the time of adoption.
