Zeus

Description

Meet Zeus!! A friendly, energetic two-year-old male Rottweiler looking for his forever home Zeus has lived with his foster Mom for several months and has settled comfortably into the household routine. He is house-trained and sleeps in his crate at night. This young, healthy boy is friendly, enjoys meeting new people, and has plenty of energy. He gets most of his exercise by playing in the backyard, where he especially loves chasing balls. Anything with a squeaker is sure to become a favorite. Although he also enjoys soft toys, they may not last long as they are not “Rottie” proof. Training and Manners Zeus walks well on a leash and rarely pulls. He really doesn’t pay much attention to squirrels or rabbits because he doesn’t have much of a prey drive. He already knows basic commands such as “sit” and “down,” and he is scheduled to begin a trick, fit, and fetch training class in two weeks. Like many energetic young dogs, Zeus is still polishing a few manners. He currently enjoys counter surfing, but his foster Mom is working with him on that. He is also learning not to jump. With continued training, structure, and positive reinforcement, he should continue to make progress. Life with Other Pets and People Zeus gets along with his larger foster brothers, but he is not the best match for smaller dogs and would probably not do well in a home with cats. He plays rough as any young, male Rottie tends to do. He has no experience with children, but that doesn’t mean he wouldn’t want to have a human sibling. Because of his size and energy level, he would likely do best with older children who understand how to interact appropriately with dogs.
