My name is Zeus!

Fill out an Adoption Application

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 rehome 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 down.

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 with both the male and the female. My foster mom says my foster brother is a butt because he doesn’t always get along well with other dogs but even do great with him.

There is a little ankle biter dog who lives next door that barks at me and I pretty much ignore him.

There are chickens here too and my foster mom says she doesn’t believe I have good intentions. 

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.

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.
