Meet the magnificent Zeus! 🌟 This grand pup is a pot of gold just waiting for the right family to discover him. Zeus came to this loving rescue from an overcrowded animal control facility after his original owner fell ill. Imagine the heartbreak—he was deeply bonded to his person, making his transition to the shelter a tough one. At just one year old, he became a part of the doggos hoping for a forever home. 🐾 Oh, but the moment he stepped into this new chapter, hearts melted! Despite some initial shy behavior and caution around strangers, he quickly warmed up, embracing the freedom from shelter life. With a captivating coat that blends smoky brown, tan, and white—a true reflection of his stunning German Shepherd and Alaskan Husky mix—Zeus is as breathtaking as he is lovable! 🐺❤️ Let’s talk personality! Zeus is not simply a handsome face; he’s got charm and affection pouring out of him! This is not a dog who thrives in solitude or is happy being relegated to the backyard—no sir! Zeus craves connection and playtime! 🎾 Picture this gentle giant, at a glorious 75 pounds, tossing a ball around with his favorite people! He enjoys human touch and warms up to those he knows, but don’t rush to pet him without proper introductions; shy away from those bear hugs from strangers! 🥺❤️ Zeus would be a treasure for active singles or couples experienced with large dogs. He needs brisk walks, runs, or hikes to keep his playful spirit alive. 🏃‍♂️ Imagine your adventures together! He has shown he can get along well with other dogs, making him the perfect addition to a multi-dog family, though his history with cats is a mystery yet to be uncovered. Engage his mind! 🧠 Zeus has that Working Dog DNA, which means he thrives on both mental and physical stimulation. Obedience training? Yes, please! He loves to learn with positive reinforcement and would respond beautifully to leadership training. Plus, he knows most basic commands already! So adopting him means you’ll have an eager companion right from the start! 🥇 Zeus comes with the gift of good manners; he’s house trained and crate trained, though a little patience during his transition is essential—after all, accidents can happen! At two years old, he's in excellent health! Just a side note: Zeus isn’t too fond of vet visits, so adopters should prepare for that—with a muzzle and some skilled techs at the ready. 🩺 If Zeus is pulling on your heartstrings, know this: You must apply through the Buddy App. This charming fellow deserves a loving home where he can truly shine. ✨
