Zeus is an adorable male (possible Black Labrador Retriever/American Pit Bull Terrier mix) puppy who made his debut into the world on December 3, 2025 when his beautiful mother (Mavis) gave birth to Zeus and his nine brothers/sisters. Momma Mavis had been brought to the HSOV on November 25, 2025 by a Good Samaritan who found her on Main Street in Belpre Ohio in the vicinity of McHappy's Bake Shoppe. Mavis was not wearing a collar, and she was not microchipped. Mavis was very pregnant when she entered our shelter, and we knew that she would soon be giving birth to several puppies based upon her size. Fortunately for Mavis, one of our wonderful foster mothers offered her the hospitality of a temporary home later in the day on November 25th so that Mavis would have a safe comfortable haven to give birth and to raise her babies. Zeus has a black coat with a white zigzag patch on his chest, a long tail, and a precious puppy face with dark brown eyes, a black button nose, a large square muzzle, and large floppy ears. Zeus and his siblings have affectionate, super playful personalities. Mavis returned to our shelter on February 4th since her puppies were fully weaned, and their foster mother continues to care for her puppies. These photos of Zeus were taken on February 21st 2026 while he turned on his charismatic charm and posed like a super model for 'Puppy Fancy Magazine'. Zeus was multi-talented for his photo session and gave a variety of poses (sitting pretty, leisurely strolling around, and trying his paws at looking cute while peeking through the handles in a wicker basket). HSOV is currently accepting adoption applications for Zeus and several of his siblings. Zeus will be neutered before being officially adopted by his new family. He could be fostered-to-adopt while he is awaiting his neuter appointment with an approved HSOV foster/adoption application.
