About Zeus

Zeus has been at the shelter longer than most, with his adoption fee covered by a kind individual who cares about him. His foster family describes him as super sweet, a cuddler who loves being around people. He enjoys playing catch and is a gentle treat taker, always polite while getting belly rubs. Going for walks is one of his favorite activities. While he can be nervous with new faces, patience pays off—once he warms up, his loving nature shines through. Zeus is very active and would thrive with a family willing to engage him in exercise, playtime, and outdoor adventures. He prefers a home where someone is around often since he’s quite social and doesn't like being left alone for too long. He needs a single-family home rather than an apartment or attached dwelling. Speak with the shelter for more details on his specific needs. Zeus is available for Trial Adoption, allowing you to take him home for two weeks to see if it's a good fit. If you're interested in meeting him, reach out to the adoption counselors at caninefoster@southwesthumane.org. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
