With a bit of charm and those adorable eyes, he warmed up and now enjoys his newfound celebrity status. He loves to take walks around the shelter, happily greeting everyone along the way, and he's developed a routine of visiting friends post-walk — it’s clear he thrives on social interaction. As a laid-back companion, Zeus enjoys leisurely strolls, chewing on bones, and soaking up affection. He’s friendly with new people and knows how to win hearts with a few simple tricks and the promise of treats.
