Story
Zeus is a sweet and playful boy who has been with me since he was a puppy. He has a gentle and timid nature — he’s not aggressive, doesn’t bite, and has always been a very friendly companion. Zeus loves attention and thrives when he’s around people who can spend time with him. He listens to commands very well and has a lot of potential to continue learning with a dedicated owner. While he hasn’t been exposed to many dogs outside of our neighborhood, he has done well with the ones he’s met. Unfortunately, with me going back to school full-time and no longer working from home, I don’t have the time to give Zeus the attention and love he deserves. I want to make sure he goes to a family who can provide him with plenty of affection, playtime, and care. If you’re looking for a loyal, sweet, and playful companion, Zeus would be a perfect addition to your family.
