DESCRIPTION
Meet Zeus!
Zeus is a tiny Chihuahua/Rat Terrier mix, about 6 years old and weighing just 8 pounds. He came to us as an owner surrender due to the allergies of his previous family.
This little guy may be small, but he has a big personality! Zeus can be a bit shy at first and may need a few minutes to warm up. Once he feels comfortable, his playful and affectionate side shines. He becomes a happy little jumping bean, bouncing up to greet his favorite humans and ask for love. After he’s settled in with his new friends, Zeus is content being picked up and carried, and he truly enjoys spending time with his people. He’ll make a great lap companion. According to his previous owner, Zeus is also housebroken. Zeus did well with another shelter dog around his size, and has the potential to live with another dog. A meet and greet would take place at the shelter with other dogs living in the home to ensure it is a good match. He has the potential to live with feline friends with proper introduction.
If you’re looking for a small dog with a big heart, Zeus might just be your perfect match!
