Zeus

Description

Say hello to Zeus!Zeus is a handsome 1-year-old Husky/Shepherd mix weighing around 60 pounds! Zeus is a fun, playful guy with plenty of personality, and he’s perfectly capable of entertaining himself. If you give Zeus a yard and some toys, and he’ll happily toss his toys around and chase after them all on his own!While Zeus can play well independently, he truly adores being with his people. Hugs, head pats, and bum scratches are his love language. If you're busy, he's also the kind of companion who will happily hang out beside you while you work, chewing on a favorite bone and keeping you company. He’d love a home with a fenced yard where he can run, play, and show off his goofy side and his zoomie skills! While he hasn't been on any hikes or park walks while in rescue, his foster mom thinks he'd make a great walking or hiking buddy. To be clear, Zeus doesn't need a crazy active home (that's where his yard, enrichment toys/bones, etc can come into play!) But he should not be expected to be a couch potato, binge-watching partner. Unless you two  went on a long walk or hike and now it's time to relax on the couch while catching up on true crime or reality shows. He could be down for that.Zeus is crate trained, sleeping well overnight, and keeps his crate clean. He’s mostly potty trained, but his new family should be willing to continue working with him as he finishes mastering the routine. Zeus is good with other dogs but can sometimes overwhelm them. If the other dog is comfortable checking Zeus, they should be fine!  No cats or small dogs under 15lb - they look too much like snacks for Zeus.While we don't want it to define him, we wish to be transparent in letting you know that Zeus was stabbed.  He was saved by local Sable Kennel animal control and the team at VEG in East Liberty. His wound is healed, and he frolics and plays as though nothing ever happened. Despite this awful display of humanity that impacted him, Zeus remains a happy, goofy, loving boy. If you think there is a spot for him your home, Zeus encourages you to apply today!  Paws Across Pittsburgh, KL 16182
