About Zeus

Zeus is a striking 7-year-old mix—part German Shepherd, Husky, and Golden Retriever—living in Oceanside, CA. His history traces back to puppyhood with the same family, so transitions won’t come easy, but he’s always been healthy and loves daily walks, lounging in the sun, and a solid game of fetch. He walks calmly on a leash and responds to sit, stay, high five, and more. Zeus does well with cats and dogs, though new introductions should be calm, especially with larger, energetic dogs. He’s better off with adults and should not be around children; he finds their energy overstimulating and won’t thrive in a kid-filled home. Mealtime is personal for him—he’d rather not share his space while eating. If you’re seeking steady companionship and can offer a quieter adult household, Zeus could fit right in.
