About Zeus

Zeus is a charming shih tzu/chihuahua mix, weighing in at 12 pounds and about to celebrate his 6th birthday. He is a fixed male, up to date on vaccines, and has a playful nature that kids adore. While mostly housebroken, a recent move has left him a bit confused, so he'll benefit from consistent training. Beware; he's food aggressive and protective of his home, traits that require attention from his future owner. Currently, Zeus is in the Direct from Owner Program, meaning his adoption will come through his current guardians. He has no adoption fee, although donations to Chesed Rescue are welcomed. You can follow the link to start your application process and give this loving dog the home he deserves.
