This is the sweetest baby I have met, and I would keep him in a heartbeat if it weren't for my German Shepherd requiring to be an only pup. Zues was rescued from a situation where his previous owner could not care for him.Zues is a HUGE cuddle bug, and will follow you to the ends of the earth! He absolutely loves attention from anyone willing to give it to him. He can be left alone for a solid period of time (8 - 9 hours), but if you have a job that allows you to be with him/take him to work, he would love that even more. He loves to go on long walk as we have been taking him on 1 mile walks 2 times a day. He has even gone to the arboretum to see the trolls where he got pets from people and did not mind the other dogs that were there! He does great on leash until he sees something he wants to sniff when he then will drag you towards it (he cannot hear very well, but his nose works really well). On walks around the neighborhood, he does not react to cars or people (but he loves pets and attention if he can get it).Zues has hypothyroidism - meaning he has to take medicine to keep his thyroids working well. He is on a steady dose of 0.4mg twice a day. He is really healthy and lost a lot of weight, going from 76 pounds to currently 61.5 pounds. He is super-food-motivated, so we try not to give him too many treats or any people food as he still needs to lose a few more pounds. He is a bit protective on a leash/inside a fence and will bark at animals he does not know. Unsure if he gets along well with cats and other dogs as he hasn't had a ton of exposure to either of those. The one time he saw my cat (who was running) he tried to chase after him, but when I held and showed Zeus the cat, he appeared to not care. He has been on a walk with another chill dog which he kept going up to and sniffing, but other than that had no other reaction to. Other pups that are a bit more hyper, he is a bit wary of/may match their energy. He reacts well to calm dogs, and I think he would love a sibling that is chill. He would do amazing in a single pet household or potential multiple dog household but would need a slow introduction to new dogs (and potentially chill cats!).Zeus is such a good boy and could be your new companion! He deserves to have a life where he can flop on a bed or couch, follow you around, and explore the world with you! If you think this might be the forever baby for you, please email me at caits1212@gmail.com!
