Story

Meet Puppy Love ??First things first—despite the name, Puppy Love is very much not a puppy. He’s a seasoned gentleman with opinions, boundaries, and all the quirks that come with being a distinguished senior.But here’s the good news: as Puppy Love settles into his golden years, he’s becoming less bitey, more understanding, and even more ready for the right forever home.His dream life?A quiet home.A secure fenced backyard.A human companion who understands that not every dog wants to run marathons—some just want to enjoy the simple things in life.Puppy Love is looking for someone who wants a loyal sidekick, not a high-energy chaos gremlin.What does this grumpy little legend love??? Chasing toys?? Hoarding toys (especially squeaky ones)?? Leisurely walks?? Snacks?? Naps?? Setting boundaries like the king he isPuppy Love may not be the dog who launches himself into your lap, but earning his trust and affection is incredibly rewarding. He’s the kind of companion who teaches you that love doesn’t always look like nonstop kisses—sometimes it looks like quietly existing together, respecting each other’s space, and sharing life at a gentler pace.He could also do well with another calm dog who respects his vibe.This special boy deserves a peaceful place to spend his senior years, and we know his perfect person is out there.All adopters will be connected with our trainer to help ensure a successful transition because Puppy Love is absolutely worth the effort.Ready to give this grumpy old man the retirement home he deserves? ????

Story

Meet Mary Poppins. ????Have you ever wished you could have all the goofy, loyal, adventure-loving personality of a Labrador... just in a more compact, travel-sized package?Well, congratulations. Mary Poppins exists.She has everything people love about Labs: the happy tail, the eagerness to be with her people, the playful spirit, and the heart that`s about three sizes too big. She just comes in a smaller body that`s easier to fit on your couch, in your car, or curled up beside you on a lazy Sunday.Mary was adopted from Zeus` Rescues in 2023, and we truly thought she`d found her forever family. Sadly, through no fault of her own, she`s back with us.Returning to shelter life has been incredibly hard on her. She`s overwhelmed, confused, and trying to understand why the home she loved is suddenly gone. Every day, though, our amazing volunteer dog walkers help her take another small step forward. Their patience and kindness are slowly reminding her that not all endings are forever.What Mary really needs now is a home where she can exhale.A foster home would give her the chance to decompress and remember what life feels like outside of kennel walls. Even better? A forever family willing to give this incredible girl the happy ending she deserves.If you`re looking for a dog with the soul of a Labrador but in a smaller, more travel-friendly package, Mary Poppins is your girl.Let`s make sure her next chapter is her last one.Apply to foster or adopt at www.zeusrescues.org.Please share. The right person may not know they`re looking for Mary Poppins... yet. ??

?? MEET PIPER — ONE OF OUR 8 CITY PARK PUPS! ??Remember the shy little girl hiding behind me in the City Park rescue video? THIS IS HER NOW thanks to a wonderful foster home. ??And look at that smile!Piper is about 7 months old, 15 pounds, and absolutely thriving in foster care. Considering the scary start she had, we are amazed by how quickly this sweet girl has figured out that home life is pretty fantastic.?? Crate trained and sleeps peacefully through the night?? Nearly house trained and learning to tell you when she needs to go out?? Great on a leash and loves her daily walks?? Plays happily with her foster dog brother?? Has a VERY important toy collection that she pulls out, tosses around, and then gathers back together?? Believes every good play session should be followed by an equally impressive nap?? Loves laps, cuddles and giving kisses?? Sweet, gentle, affectionate and eager to pleasePiper is also perfectly happy entertaining herself, which her foster family says makes her incredibly easy to have around.At only 15 pounds, she’s that magical “small enough to scoop up, but big enough to actually go places with you” size.She’s still a puppy and learning her boundaries, but she redirects easily and genuinely wants to make her people happy.And most importantly, that shy, frightened little dog we first met in City Park is learning what it feels like to be safe, loved and part of a family.Now she just needs that family to be hers forever. ????Piper is spayed, vaccinated and ready for adoption through Zeus’ Rescues.?? Apply to adopt Piper at ZeusRescues.org.Please share her! Somewhere out there is a person who needs this ridiculous little smile looking at them every morning. Thanks!

Story

Meet Twain — Freret’s newest distinguished gentleman!This seven-year-old terrier mix first trotted into our lives back in January of 2018. After nearly five years in a loving home filled with Netflix, naps, and the good life, Twain found his way back to us when his family could no longer keep him.And guess what? Twain is doing GREAT.Our spicy little legend absolutely LOVES the move to Freret. The new space seems to suit him, and while we never thought we’d say this… he may be slowly, ever so slowly, chilling out just a little bit.Now, let’s be clear — Twain is still very much Twain. Like fine gorgonzola cheese (or your mother-in-law’s passionate dishwasher-loading critiques), he remains an acquired taste. He likes his people carefully selected, his routine respected, and his boundaries honored.But once you’re in that circle of trust? You’re in forever.Twain’s loyalty runs deep. Once he decides you’re his person, you’ve got yourself a hilarious, devoted, baby-carrying, goofy best friend for life.He would thrive in a calm, predictable home without too many strangers popping in and out. He’s perfect for someone who appreciates a dog with personality, opinions, and an unwavering commitment to his inner circle.Twain is:?? Up to date on shots?? Heartworm negative?? Microchipped?? Dewormed?? Full of characterIf you’re looking for a loyal companion and appreciate a dog who believes trust is earned, Twain may just be your perfect match.Apply at [www.zeusrescues.org](http://www.zeusrescues.org)#zeusrescues

Story

?? Daphne headed north… but Velma is still waiting in NOLA. ??Velma and her sister, Daphne, hold a bittersweet little piece of Zeus’ Rescues history — they were the final two dogs ever dumped over the fence at our old Napoleon location before we closed that chapter, tore down the fence, and moved to Freret.Well, Daphne recently got her ticket out! She hopped on a transport up North, where she’ll have a new opportunity to find her forever home.But Velma is still here in New Orleans, wondering when it will be her turn.At just 1.5 years old, Velma has already had enough uncertainty for one little lifetime. She’s ready to trade being left behind for being chosen.And this girl is SO ready.?? Dog friendly and would love a canine buddy?? Equal parts playful and loving?? A loyal sidekick with a heart of gold?? Always up for an adventure?? Equally happy settling in for couch cuddles?? Professional shadow and full-time best friendVelma is also ALL young dog. She’s happy, energetic, playful and sometimes a little rambunctious because apparently no one has informed her that she isn’t a tiny puppy anymore. ??Because of her enthusiasm for life, Velma would do best in a home with older children who won’t mind her exuberant personality and can keep up with her.She’s sweet, resilient, dog friendly and still ridiculously optimistic about humans despite the way her story started.Her sister has moved on to her next chapter. Now we need to make sure Velma doesn’t get forgotten.She doesn’t need a transport ticket.She needs a HOME.A couch. A person. Maybe a dog sibling. A family. Someone who looks at that face and says, “Yep. You’re coming home with me.”Velma’s past started with someone leaving her behind.Let’s make sure her future starts with someone choosing her. ??Apply to adopt or foster Velma at ZeusRescues.org.Please share and help us find Velma her people!Thanks!Michelle#zeusrescues
