About Zeus

Welcome Zeus to the peanuts gang. This sweet larger Chihuahua boy is about a year old. After wandering the streets and crossing highways for two weeks, the dedicated team at Tucker K9 Search and Rescue finally captured him. They endured many sleepless nights watching him evade traps, as people fed him and kept him from taking the bait. Their perseverance has paid off, and now Zeus is ready for a new home. Zeus will be neutered in late October and is up to date on his vaccinations. While he hasn’t settled into a foster home yet, he’s eager to find a loving family. If you're interested in making him part of your life, consider applying with the rescue today.
