Story
Hi, I’m Zeus and I’m looking for my forever home. Foster dad says I always look like I’m trying to remember what I walked into the room for. (Geez, thanks!) But I’m a loveable goofball - the kind of guy who is always happy to be included. I am 5 y.o. and weight 33 lbs and am being fostered in Columbus, OH. My life hasn’t been easy. I came to SIRA from a shelter with severe skin issues and missing fur. But after lots of TLC, I’m healthy and happy now. I love people. I get so excited to meet new friends that I sometimes bark while they’re petting me. I don’t want them to stop - I just have a lot of feelings! Give me time, a few treats, and some scratches, and you’ll be my best friend. If you have a snack, I’m happy to share. You can put hats on me, sunglasses, shirts - I don’t care! I’m just excited to be together. And behind my goofy face, I’m actually pretty clever. Puzzle toys, snuffle mats, and games that make me think are my favorite ways to stay busy. If I’m bored, I’ll figure out how to get into places I shouldn’t. I do best with some structure and routine, including consistent potty breaks and crate time when appropriate. I’m an easygoing guy. I love being outside, chasing tennis balls, playing tug-of-war, sniffing everything. When I’m indoors, I love to watch the neighborhood from the window like it’s a TV show. I’d be happiest as an only dog or with calm, independent dogs that don’t mind sharing. I like the dogs in my foster home, but I sometimes feel possessive around food, treats, and attention, so feeding separately and managing high-value items is important. I haven’t lived with little kids, so I don’t know what I’d think about them. I should not live with cats or small critters since I like to chase them! I’m a healthy boy – neutered and vaccinated. If you live in the Midwest and think you might be my forever person, visit www.savingshibas.com/adopt to become an approved SIRA adopter. The application process helps SIRA learn if we’d be a good match. Once you’re approved, they’ll introduce you to my foster dad so we can meet! I hope you’re my new best friend!
