About Zeus

Meet Zeus, an 8-year-old Pit Bull/Boxer mix weighing around 70 pounds. This gentle giant has a heartwarming story to tell. After spending years with his owner, things took a tough turn when they found themselves homeless. While trying to protect a church, Zeus' owner was arrested, leaving him confused and without a family. Fortunately, a kind foster family stepped in, giving Zeus a safe space away from the shelter for over a year. Now, he's looking to find a loving retirement home where he can truly settle in. Zeus is calm and affectionate, always ready for snuggles on any cozy dog bed. He gets along well with large dogs and does not mind sitting out of rough play; he’s the ultimate laid-back companion. Walks and hikes are enjoyable for him, but he does not require excessive exercise. He is crate trained and nearly house trained, though some accidents might happen as he adjusts to a new space. He has shown good behavior around children at adoption events. This loving dog deserves a forever home where he can be cherished. Will you be the one to give Zeus the family he has been waiting for?
