Description Zeus
Zeus' Compatibility:

Kids – Prefers grown-ups

Zeus has been through more than any dog should, but this sweet and sensitive boy is still holding onto hope for his happy ending. When he feels safe and comfortable, Zeus is a deeply loyal and loving companion.

Life has not been easy for Zeus. He experienced abuse at a young age, which left him cautious and unsure in new situations. Even so, he has shown just how much potential he has when given patience and kindness. During a two week training program at Paws & Play, Zeus showed how smart and eager he is to learn, especially when he has a consistent routine that helps him feel safe.

Zeus feels most at ease with women and would thrive in a home led by women who can give him the time and patience he needs to feel secure. As he settles in and feels safe, his loyalty and affection really shine.

Zeus loves chest scratches, car rides, and working on food puzzles. He is happiest in a quiet home with a steady routine and understanding people. Loud noises, sudden movements, and unfamiliar places can make him nervous, so he will need adopters who are willing to introduce new experiences at his own pace.

Zeus is ready to leave his past behind and start fresh with a family who will embrace him for who he is. With patience, structure, and love, he will reward you with loyalty, affection, and the joy of watching him grow more confident every day.

Could you be the one to give Zeus the safe, loving home he has been waiting for? He is ready to meet his forever family.

Important Notice: A “meet and greet” with any existing dogs in your home is required, supervised by our team in our play areas. We encourage bringing your family and current dogs, especially if traveling from afar. Cats are not required for a meet and greet.

Adoption Hours: Daily 12-5PM, closed Wednesdays. No appointment needed, unless the dog or cat is in foster! Apply and then call us at 317-773-4974 to set up a meet and greet with an pet in foster care.

Not Quite Ready To Adopt?

You can make an immeasurable impact by opening your home and your heart to an animal in need. Fostering is a great opportunity to introduce a pet into your home without making a lifelong commitment. Many of our foster humans end up adopting their fostered animals, but many also choose to just provide the temporary shelter and love our animals need to get through a trying time.
