My name is Zeus!

Meet Zeus, a handsome 1-year-old fawn who is ready for a fresh start and a forever home of his own. Zeus is a dog-friendly guy who enjoys the company of other pups and would love a home with canine friends. However, Zeus does not do well with cats, so a cat-free home is a must for him. Zeus came into our care after being surrendered due to his family moving—through no fault of his own. Despite the big changes in his young life, he remains a sweet, affectionate boy who just needs stability, patience, and love to truly shine. At just one year old, Zeus is still learning and growing, making him a wonderful candidate for continued training, bonding, and adventure with his future family. He’s eager to please and ready to build a strong connection with someone willing to give him the time and commitment he deserves. If you’re looking for a loyal companion and have a cat-free home, Zeus may be your perfect match
