Zeus's Story
HEAR YE, MORTALS - ZEUS, SON OF THUNDER AND LORD OF THE VERTICAL LEAP, DESCENDS FROM OLYMPUS IN SEARCH OF A FOREVER HOME <br/><br/>All glory, all chaos, all cuddles.<br/><br/>Let it be known across realms seen and unseen:<br/>ZEUS, a 1-year-old, 67-pound Shepherd mix of mythic energy and questionable impulse control, has descended from Mount Olympus bearing joy, exuberance, and the ability to jump high enough to greet the sun god personally.<br/><br/>Forged from equal parts lightning bolt and golden retriever soul, Zeus is fully potty trained, crate trained, and tragically unaware that mortals do not require full-force chest hugs as greetings. His vertical ascent is legendary; his horizontal boundaries... under divine revision.<br/><br/>Behold his sacred gifts:<br/> The Boundless Toy Obsession of Dionysus<br/> The Dog-Friendliness of Demeter in Springtime<br/> The Heart of Aphrodite, overflowing with love<br/> The Attention Span of Hermes after six espressos<br/><br/>He dwelleth among cats and children of all sizes, though his feelings for cats are a saga worthy of Homer:<br/>Chapter I: Terror Before the Furry Oracle<br/>Chapter II: A Serenade of Emotional Ballads<br/>Chapter III: A Gentle Curious Nibble (swiftly redirected by the gods)<br/><br/>Zeus prospers in lands where adventure abounds: homes of active mortals with yards, canine comrades, toy treasures, and a tolerance for spontaneous lightning-powered zoomies.<br/><br/>He is joy incarnate.<br/>He is chaos wrapped in fur.<br/>He is love expressed at unsafe altitudes.<br/><br/>If your heart longs for a myth made real -<br/>if your home is worthy of divine cuddle storms -<br/>if you dare to welcome a hero forged from thunder and snuggles...<br/><br/>Step forward, mortal.<br/>Zeus awaits his forever pantheon.<br/><br/>PLEASE READ BELOW:<br/><br/>If you are interested in meeting and/or adopting, the first step is to complete an application and read all of our FAQs: <br/><br/>https://www.takepawsrescue.org/adopt<br/><br/>Please note: Information to determine if you might be a match for one of our animals can only be found on our application. <br/>*An inquiry, questions or introduction through Petfinder is NOT an application* <br/>All known details about our animals are posted on their profile and updated daily. Other info will be discussed in detail with the foster during the application review process. Due to the high volume of introductions/questions received we ask you to submit an application (that application can be used for any dog with Take Paws Rescue).<br/><br/>The adoption fee for adult dogs covers age appropriate vaccinations, microchip, spay/neuter if not yet performed, heartworm test & appropriate heartworm treatment by the rescue's vet. All dogs in our care are also kept up-to-date on HW/Flea Prevention.<br/>For more on this, or for additional information, including the adoption process and our adoption fee scale for all our adoptable pets (including an explanation about Benefactor Dogs), please see our FAQs page: <br/><br/>https://www.takepawsrescue.org/faq<br/><br/>Any breed labels used by Take Paws Rescue, its employees/volunteers, or on vet records provided cannot be guaranteed. Breed labels are given based on information obtained during intake and/or best guesses based on appearance and/or temperament of the dogs and Take Paws Rescue gives no assurance to the accuracy of these labels. Labels are necessary for postings to many animal networking sites, such as our website, Chewy, Pet Finder, and others. These are in no way a guarantee. Additionally, exact age and potential size cannot be guaranteed.<br/><br/>***Take Paws Rescue saves dogs from high-kill shelters across the South, owner surrenders, and discarded dogs with uncertain futures. All of our animals live in foster homes where they are socialized, and well cared for. An application will be required to make sure it's the perfect match!
HEAR YE, MORTALS - ZEUS, SON OF THUNDER AND LORD OF THE VERTICAL LEAP, DESCENDS FROM OLYMPUS IN SEARCH OF A FOREVER HOME
All glory, all chaos, all cuddles.
Let it be known across realms seen and unseen:
ZEUS, a 1-year-old, 67-pound Shepherd mix of mythic energy and questionable impulse control, has descended from Mount Olympus bearing joy, exuberance, and the ability to jump high enough to greet the sun god personally.
Forged from equal parts lightning bolt and golden retriever soul, Zeus is fully potty trained, crate trained, and tragically unaware that mortals do not require full-force chest hugs as greetings. His vertical ascent is legendary; his horizontal boundaries... under divine revision.
Behold his sacred gifts:
The Boundless Toy Obsession of Dionysus
The Dog-Friendliness of Demeter in Springtime
The Heart of Aphrodite, overflowing with love
The Attention Span of Hermes after six espressos
He dwelleth among cats and children of all sizes, though h

The Dog-Friendliness of Demeter in Springtime
The Heart of Aphrodite, overflowing with love
The Attention Span of Hermes after six espressos
He dwelleth among cats and children of all sizes, though his feelings for cats are a saga worthy of Homer:
Chapter I: Terror Before the Furry Oracle
Chapter II: A Serenade of Emotional Ballads
Chapter III: A Gentle Curious Nibble (swiftly redirected by the gods)
Zeus prospers in lands where adventure abounds: homes of active mortals with yards, canine comrades, toy treasures, and a tolerance for spontaneous lightning-powered zoomies.
