My name is Zeus. I am approximately 2 years old and have been staying at my foster mom's house for about 3 months while recovering from a skin infection. I do have some skin allergies but my foster mom thinks it is environmental and not food related. My foster mom has lots of plants, bushes, and trees in the backyard. I am all healed up now and am looking for my new family. I currently live with 4 cats and 2 dogs, one big mastiff and one small chihuahua. I get along with everyone, but my foster mom says I have a lot of energy and am still learning how to play more gently with others. Sometimes when I am with dogs that don't correct me, I can get a little rough with my play. Sometimes I will run after the cats and when I get to them, I gently "boop" their faces. I just want to play with everyone. My foster mom says I am good at taking corrections from other dogs and I respond really well to being spritzed with the water bottle. I am still working on my mouthiness but I have a toy (a "chewy") in my mouth I do much better. I have learned how to do a "sit" with a hand signal and a treat, but I am still working on my leash manners. I tend to get really excited when I am not at home or in my yard, but my foster mom thinks I will do better with more practice. I ride pretty good in a car and am crate trained too. I let my foster mom know when I have to potty but I won't long if I have to go out. Because of my energy and excitability my foster mom says I would do much better with no small children. I like to chew things, so my foster mom says I can't have any more cushions in my crate because sometimes I swallow the stuffing. When I am in the yard, I like to find sticks and chew on them and eat them. My foster mom thinks I may be slightly hearing impaired. It seems like I can hear when I am looking at her, but when I am farther away, I don't always respond to her.
