Story
Meet Slink aka Slinker Dinker Doo. Slink is my personal dog`s BFF. Slink has been with us since he was a wee puppy back in 3/19, except for a brief stint in a home from 4/19 - 11/19. He wasn`t properly trained as a puppy and was returned for being...well...and untrained puppy. As a result, he has some barrier aggression and a squirrel prey drive that is unmatched. He LOVES humans. He is goofy and loves to snuggle. He is a staff FAVORITE and has greeted us with a smile over the last 967 morning that he has been with us. It is time for Slink to go a forever home. That perfect home involves someone who likes to cuddle on the couch and has experience with handling a strong dog. Matt with K9 State of Mind is working with him and I will personally pay to continue these sessions post adoption to ensure he has the best chance of succeeding in his new life. Dinker Doo is up to date on shots, neutered, microchipped, heartworm negative, house/crate trained and great on a leash (until a squirrel runs in his field of vision). If interested in giving our longest term rescue resident a permanent home, fill out the app at www.zeusrescues.org. I will forever be in your debt. Michelle

Story
Meet Annie, the most perfect 15 pound dog stuck in a 75 pound body that you will ever meet. Annie was living with her family and a Shih Tzu in a home pre-Ida. Their home was destroyed and they were forced to live in their car. As you can imagine, that wasn`t easy. Her family made the difficult decision to surrender her to us in the hopes of finding appropriate housing for her. When haven`t had any luck yet...probably because of her size. Annie is exuberant and loves life. She is treat motivated and wants to do everything to please her human. She is house trained and great on leash, once her initial excitement is over. Her 2 former fosters gave her glowing reviews on her house manners. Please consider fostering or adopting this big girl. She is up to date on shots, microchipped, spayed and promised to make you smile each and every day. Ten months is too long to find a home for this Ida survivor. She deserves more. Thanks. Michelle

Story
Cherry`s foster mom reports:`I don’t have a sofa or a TV at home, so maybe I can’t answer these few questions, but he will bark when my neighbor opens the door and throws out the trash (making a sound outside), and also the delivery man(be sure do not open the door the delivery man is right outside. He is very clingy, when I am studying, he will sleep on the same chair with me and accompany me to study.His day is actually very regular. If you have a regular schedule, he won`t wake you up very early every day. He will get up when you get up and ask you to take him for a walk for a pee. I usually go to class after walking him. In the first few days, I put him in a cage when I went out, and after 3 days, I found that he would not tear down the house; I let him out when I went out, but only in the bedroom, because there is a desk in my living room, and it is full of things he likes.He only peed in the bedroom on the first day, probably of the new environment, but it didn`t happen after that. Another time, I had to go to class on zoom at 8 o`clock after I got up, and I didn`t take him out to the toilet in time. He kept telling me to go out, but my class needed to turn on the camera so that I couldn`t leave halfway, so he went to the toilet to pee next to the bathtub Pee and shit. He knows he can`t go to the toilet at home. he is very smart. I have to take him out at least three times a day, one time for 15-20 minutes. He likes big dogs. He has become good friends with my neighbor`s big dogs, and he has to say hello to them every time he passes by.He is curious about everything about you and will take what he likes as his own. So don`t put things within his reach that he might like: plastic bags, foam in the delivery box, hair ties, slippers (he likes to take them to bed, but if you reprimand him, he won`t), things like sticks (combs, makeup brushes, pens, leather items, kids toys (at least he snatched my Peppa Pig pendant on day one). He`s curious about human food, and when you When eating, he will especially want to try your food, he will act like a baby and even yell at you for food, but he will return to normal after you finish eating. He likes raw meat sticks and pb treats!sleep at night! This part is very important; he likes to sleep with people and loves to squeeze you to sleep. However, don`t approach him suddenly when he is sleepy or asleep; he will attack you. But he will make a `wuwu` sound first to warn you no
