My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Zeus -5 year old, silver lab.

Meet Zeus -5 year old, silver lab.

Zeus is currently being fostered on Long Island with two easy going dogs.

Zeus was surrendered to a shelter after his owner had a stroke. This boy was well trained in his original home. He knows most commands: "sit, stay, down, come". The original intent was to train him to be a service dog - but Zeus is a bit too nervous for that task and needs a strong, confident owner. He is such a faithful, loyal, loving companion but is nervous when meeting new folks so it is best to leash him up and give him time to get a few sniffs in first - he comes around very quickly but probably would not do well in a home with young children. So an experienced owner, who will make him feel comfortable and confident is what this boy needs. Someone who will take the time to work with him - could that be you?

NYSRR is a small rescue located on Long Island. Our vets, trainers, volunteers, and fosters are located here, which is why we typically adopt to families within a 60 mile radius of Long Island.
