My personality

My story

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

Meet Zeus! God of Thunder an - No, not that Zeus — this Zeus is a four-legged ball of energy who’s more interested in fetching tennis balls than throwing lightning bolts. But don’t let that fool you. This 4-year-old mixed breed has the heart of a hero, the soul of a sidekick, and the enthusiasm of a demigod discovering they’re part of a prophecy.

Zeus bursts into your life like an unexpected quest—toy in mouth, tail wagging like it’s caught in a hurricane, and eyes that practically beg you to go on an adventure. He’s a water-loving champion who believes hoses are magical serpents to be tamed and puddles are portals to another realm (probably filled with peanut butter Kongs). If there’s water nearby, Zeus is diving in faster than Percy heading for the ocean.

But even a hero needs some downtime. After a day of battling evil (or maybe just chasing the hose), Zeus is all about snuggles and nose kisses. He rides in the car like a seasoned quest-giver, gazing out the window and dreaming of his next big adventure. And if there’s a pup cup involved? Let’s just say you’ll see a look of pure, divine happiness that could rival Mount Olympus.

Zeus is no mere mortal when it comes to brains, either. He’s mastered sit, stay, and drop it like a true champion and takes treats with the gentle grace of a hero accepting a token from a grateful villager. He’s great on a leash (well, most of the time — he’s got a bit of a Hermes-speed problem and sometimes pulls like he’s racing to save the world). A harness is your best bet to keep this powerhouse in check.

Now, every hero has their Achilles’ heel. Zeus? He’s still figuring out that potty goes outside. He’s trying, really — but sometimes, he gets a little confused, as if he’s caught between realms. But with patience and encouragement (and maybe a few divine treats), he’s determined to get it right.

When it comes to other dogs, Zeus is like that one quest partner who likes to be the center of attention. He prefers friends who can keep up with his playful, rough-and-rowdy vibe, especially calm and tolerant female dogs. He’s a little too curious about cats, though, so a feline-free home would be ideal (no need for a clash of the titans in your living room).

Zeus is ready to embark on his greatest quest yet — finding a forever home where he can be the hero of his own story. He’s all love, all energy, and all in. So, if you’re looking for a fun, affectionate, and slightly mischievous sidekick who believes life is better with toys, kisses, and a splash of adventure… Zeus is your guy. After all, thunder might not strike twice, but with Zeus, love sure does.
