About Zuess

Meet Zuess, a lively 1-year-old Australian Shepherd mix who weighs about 45 lbs. He’s all about loving people and has a knack for making questionable choices, particularly when it comes to shoes. As a certified Lover Boy, he adores his foster mom and has a special bond with his foster dad, so a home with a fabulous male role model would be just perfect for him. Zuess tends to ignore personal space because he truly believes that smothering those he loves is his greatest joy. Zuess gets along wonderfully with other dogs, always believing their toys are up for grabs, so sharing is his game. While he hasn’t lived with kids before, his gentle demeanor suggests he’d fit in well with little ones. This boy also has perfected the art of couch diving and loves napping in style. He’s about 90% house-trained with a preference for doggy doors, and while he'll reluctantly enter his kennel, he can become quite elusive if he knows there's a plan at hand. Goofy, affectionate, and eager to be the best boy, Zuess is ready for his forever home. If you think you can handle a shoe-loving companion and a whole lot of love, apply to meet him today!
