Zeus

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.<br/><br/>Our boy Zeus is ready to find his forever home. If you follow our page regularly, you may already know his story. He originally came to us from a local shelter after being surrendered due to a change in his owner’s living situation. What that change was, we will never know. What we do know is that once he was surrendered, it became clear Zeus had a complicated leg break. The shelter reached out to rescues, and of course we stepped in.<br/><br/>After taking him in, we brought Zeus to our vet, where we learned he actually had two fractures in his leg. One was healing, but the other was not. After discussing all options, we were told the best and kindest choice for Zeus was amputation. Today, Zeus is a tripod. But his story doesn’t end there. Zeus is also blind. In one eye he may see shadows; the other has a retinal issue likely caused by a birth defect. Through all of this, Zeus has remained one of the most loving, affectionate boys we have ever met. He proves once again why dogs are truly amazing.<br/><br/>Zeus is now ready to live his life the way he was always meant to. He is absolutely wonderful. He’s the kind of dog who can go just about anywhere. He loves everyone he meets, from babies on up. He is housebroken, crate trained, amazing in the car, playful with squeaky toys, and even does well on a leash. Zeus loves to socialize. He has gone to local farmers markets in his stroller and met so many wonderful people who have given him nothing but love and pets. He sits proudly, smelling all the smells in the air, looking happy and content.<br/><br/>Zeus gets along great with other dogs. He loves to play with them and with his toys. He is very smart — he learned how to use the doggie door within two days of being in his foster home. He enjoys being outside, laying on the deck in the sun, and playing “treats in the grass” every evening. But more than anything, Zeus loves his people. He can’t seem to get enough attention. Anywhere they go, Zeus wants to be. When he wants affection, he nudges you with his nose — his signature “poodle poke.” He’s always right there.<br/><br/>He has learned to navigate life as a tripod beautifully. He can do a set of stairs up and down the porch and will balance on his one back leg to ask to get on the couch. It has only been a month since his surgery, so he does get tired at times, and sometimes his back leg will slide out from under him. These are all things that will continue to improve with time.<br/><br/>Because Zeus is blind and tends to be underfoot, we are asking for a home with a fully fenced yard and slightly older kids, past the toddler stage. He loves children, but he may accidentally cut them off or trip them as they walk. We don’t want anyone getting hurt. Zeus likes dogs, but a home with smaller dogs (shorter or under 25 pounds) may be best for him as he navigates more easily around them.<br/><br/>If you think you can give Zeus the home he was meant to have, make sure you apply today. You won’t be disappointed, and you will end up being loved more than ever. He’s the best little buddy ever.<br/><br/>Zeus is neutered, up to date with vaccines, microchipped, flea/worm treated and tested neg. for heartworm. His adoption fee is $475<br/><br/>We require a martingale collar at the time of adoption. If you do not have one, you may purchase one from Pixie Mamas for an additional $10 to ensure Zeus's safety and security.
