***NEEDS FOSTER or FOREVER HOME***
Currently in Boise boarding kennels
Meet ZEUS !
He is an affectionate, people-loving, 45-lb, 12-year-old male pitbull mix who is looking for a quiet, stable home willing to provide comfort care after all that he has endured. Despite his past, he is friendly, loving and deeply human-oriented.
ZEUS is fine with off-leash doggy playgroups at his boarding kennel, but he doesn't really engage. He enjoys sniffing the room and resting. He adores all the attention that he receives from the staff and volunteers. He loves treats and food. ZEUS walks well on a loose leash and with other dogs. He even 'checks in' with his handler (see video).
ZEUS was lucky to be in a foster home to recover from neuter surgery. We learned that he is housetrained, cratetrained, and sleeps through the night. He loves exploring new smells around the house or on walks. He loves peanut butter so can pass the time in his crate or when you are away from him with a lick mat or a stuffed Kong.
ZEUS is fine with resident dogs, but has not learned how to share resources like your love and your food. He will let you know about his displeasure with a warning growl. We are looking for a home where this behaviour can either be managed (i.e., avoid these situations) or a home without other dogs.
ZEUS should be fine in any calm home, including respectful elementary school age kids. He would be ideal for an older couple looking to walk each day.
ZEUS is healthy, neutered, microchipped and current on vaccines for his forever family.

BACKGROUND: ZEUS (former TARYN) and his brother were found November 2025 living in substandard conditions after their family abandoned them. They both received emergency vet care for starvation, dehydration, and other complications from prolonged neglect. Despite all they’ve endured, they are gentle, soft-natured, and incredibly sweet.
