Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Meet Zeus, a 7-month-old Chihuahua with a big personality tucked inside his tiny frame! Zeus is playful, affectionate, and oh-so-sweet with his people, but he’s still figuring out how to navigate the world outside his comfort zone. New faces and unfamiliar situations can make him a very fearful at first, but with a little patience and love, he warms up and shows off his lively, charming side.
Zeus was surrendered when his previous family had to move out of the country, and he’s adjusting to this big change in his life. He’s not used to being on leash but is learning quickly and making progress every day. He isn’t house trained yet, so he’ll need an owner who’s ready to help him with the basics and has experience with small dogs who might take a little longer to come out of their shell.
Zeus would do best in a home with patient people who understand the needs of a nervous little dog and can give him the time he needs to build trust. If you’re ready to help Zeus blossom into his best self, come meet him today!
If you're ready to adopt now and want to learn more about, meet, or adopt this pet, you can start the process in one of two ways:
Come on in during open adoption hours Tuesday - Saturday 12:30-3:00! For in-shelter pets (not in foster care) coming in ASAP is the fastest way to adopt.
**the below two methods are slower than visiting us**
Call us (413-781-4000 x 1) or email us (springfield@dakinhumane.org) for more information about a pet. We are often on the line with another client, but we return voice mail and emails within 24 hours.
All adult dog adoption fees include;
-spay/neuter
-rabies and kennel cough vaccinations
- heartworm test
-current parvo/distemper vaccines (may need additional boosters with your veterinarian)
