You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. I’m Zeus, chief god of the Greeks.
Oh no. That was a different Zeus.
I’m Zeus. The 4 year old Great Dane saved from a North Carolina shelter.
But I’m awesome just the same.
I am so friendly and sweet that the pilot that brought me to Maryland wanted to adopt me. He actually asked his wife and she said no. (He should re-home her!)
I am crate trained and potty trained. I am good in the house as long as there isn’t something super tempting around like a bag of treats or steak sitting on the counter. I take treats extremely gently. I know sit and am working on down now. I sometimes lose my head and jump on people.
I am a happy boy. I have moderate energy. I love to shake my stuffy toys. I love playing fetch with the ball and I even bring the ball back. I also love a bully stick or filled Kong to chew on. My foster mom says I’m a good boy and I don’t resource guard. My foster mom always feeds us all separately though because she says it’s best to not create a problem.
I am living with 2 Great Danes. I love to play chase with the female. I mainly just chase her then she chases me until she has had enough and then I meander around and ignore her. My foster mom says the male dane in the house is a “butt” so it’s best I don’t meet him. But I’m open to meeting any dog.
There is a little ankle biter dog who lives next door that barks at me and I pretty much ignore him.
I sleep in my crate at night and go in with a couple of treats. I am quiet as a church mouse all night. I am left in a room during the day if foster mom can’t watch me and I’m not destructive. I did puff up the comforter on the bed to make it nice and comfy for me but I don’t chew anything like furniture.
My foster mom says I am excited to go on a leash and I pull but should get better with practice. I now use a gentle leader and I am perfect with that.
I love car rides (and plane rides if you happen to want to take me on a plane). I literally just lay down in the car and occasionally sit up to look out the window.
I’m happy and confident and love all people big or small. I have not been introduced to cats but my foster mom thinks I would chase them if they ran because I am all about playing chase with my friends when I’m in the yard.
I don’t seem bothered by loud noises like the leaf blower or thunder or the vacuum cleaner. I love to be petted all over. I was ok for my bath. I liked the rub down but not the water but my foster mom thinks I just am not used to it.
I am very treat motivated so that should help with training.
I am friendly with kids so a dog savvy kid should be great. I would love a canine sibling but I would be fine as an only pet also.
My foster mom took me to Home Depot and I was amazing. I walked around and sniffed and met new people and was really the bestest boy.
