About Zz Zeus

Zz Zeus is an older Rottweiler mix with a gentle spirit and a huge love for people. At 8 years old, he's neutered and up to date on vaccinations. He thrives on attention, relishes long walks—a mile twice a day suits him just fine—and doesn’t mind new faces or unfamiliar dogs when handled calmly. Despite some hearing loss, he more than makes up for it with curiosity and an eager nose, sometimes pulling a bit on leash if something catches his attention. Zz Zeus is accustomed to being alone for the workday but would be delighted to join you at work or be near you as much as possible. Zz Zeus manages hypothyroidism well with a regular medication routine and benefits from a stable, treat-limited diet. He’s shed weight from 76 to 61.5 pounds and is still on a healthy journey. While he’s shown he can peacefully walk alongside calm dogs, he’s wary around more excitable pups and barks at unknown animals from behind a fence or on leash. He hasn’t lived extensively with cats or dogs but may tolerate calm companions if introduced slowly. Zz Zeus would flourish as an only pet or with a laid-back animal friend. He’s happiest lounging close to his people, following them from room to room, or soaking up the world by your side. Your new best friend is just one click away.
