Zeus

Please do not contact us via PetFinder. If you are interested in Zeus, please fill out an application at www.mdgsprescue.org.<br/><br/>Zeus is an almost 7 year old male GSP weighing 54 lbs. He is both house and crate trained. Don't let his age fool you, this guy loves to play fetch, go for long walks and swim. I have flirted with the idea of dock diving with him once it is warm again. Zeus went to a 4 week board and train and knows his commands pretty well, I practice them daily with him while on walks at the local parks. Something he very much looks forward to on a daily basis. His training did involve an ecollar and he listens very well off leash once he knows you. So if you are looking for a hiking companion, he's your guy.<br/><br/>He absolutely loves his toys, when you enter the room he feels obligated to bring you one of them. If you'll toss it for fetch, even better. He does not destuff stuffed toys, he allows them to remain intact.<br/><br/>Zeus can be a nervous nitty and due to this he sometimes gets along with other dogs and sometimes does not act accordingly, so he should be the only dog in the home. Having just him simply provides a stress free environment in that regard.<br/><br/>Our boy also needs a home without children. His nervousness sometimes extends to meeting strangers and children cannot gauge that. If approached too quickly and a stranger reaches for him, he can nip a finger. But get him playing fetch and you are a life long friend. So slow introductions are required as he adjusts to changes.<br/><br/>Zeus is a perfect dog for an active single person or couple. He loves to get out and go on adventures. He likes affection but is not a marshmallow, meaning he will come over for scratches but is not a snuggler per sey and has little interest in that. I put him on "place" on his dog bed instead of allowing him on furniture. He is a grump if you wake him from a nap so my preference is for him to have his space and me to have mine. A trainer once told me "the dog just being in the room with you is sufficient to the dog, everything else you do is for you." This is true for Zeus, he likes his own space and I respect that.<br/><br/>Is Zeus a fantastic dog, yes, but he does need some specifics in his new home. If you are looking for an active dog who likes to do things, he is your guy and he loves doing it. If you are interested in Zeus, fill out our Adoption Application and mention him in the comments.
