My personality

My story

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

Zeus arrived at NCCR on 1/2/26, surrendered by his owner through no fault of his own when the landlord found out about him. He is a 1 ½ – 2-year-old male Golden Retriever/German Shepherd mix. Zeus reportedly gets along well with kids, likes most other dogs, and can live with cats but will “tease” them. He is crate trained, rides well in the car, is not destructive in the home, but could use more work on house training and learning not to jump up on people. He likes just about everyone, except the mailman – what a classic! He is still a young dog and needs a fair amount of daily exercise and activity to keep him happy. Zeus will soon be a real gem of a dog with just a little bit of polishing!
If you think you might be interested in adopting, your first step should be to complete an Adoption Application at www.caninerescue.org.
After you have completed your application, you will get a confirmation that we have received your application. It takes a lot of time to process the applications, so we ask for your patience while we do so. If you see that the dog you were interested in has been adopted it means there were many applications for that dog and we did not get as far as processing your application before a home was found. We welcome you to apply again if you see another dog that interests you.
If you have a question, please email us at adoptions@caninerescue.org. It is much easier and quicker for us to respond by email, as we receive many phone calls each day.
We do adopt out of state, however we do not transport or ship dogs. Potential adopter must be able and willing to travel to the Rescue to meet the dog they are interested in.
*PLEASE double check all of the phone numbers that you provide as if they are incorrect, we will be unable to process your application. Please also let your references know that someone from NCCR will be calling them. Most adoption team members call from their personal phone so advise your references that there may be an unknown number or a private number calling them.
