Zeus - German Shepherd Dog Dog for Adoption in Baytown, Texas

Meet Zeus — Good Boy. Ball Addict. Professional Fun Coordinator.

Zeus is 10 months old, which means he has reached that magical stage of life where he has learned the household rules...but still occasionally believes they are merely suggestions.

Fortunately, this handsome boy is actually VERY well behaved.

Zeus is:

Potty trained
Crate trained
Leash trained
Neutered
Vaccinated
Heartworm negative
Great with other dogs
Good with adults and children
Completely, utterly and unapologetically obsessed with BALLS

We should probably discuss that last one.

Zeus is BALL DRIVEN.

Throw the ball? He gets it.

Throw it again? Absolutely.

Again? Obviously.

Were you planning to do something else today?

That sounds like poor planning on your part.

Zeus loves following his person around with his ball, just waiting for you to recognize that you have been selected for another round of fetch. He genuinely loves playing with his humans, so if you’ve always wanted a personal trainer who accepts payment in tennis balls, congratulations. You’ve found him.

Zeus is an active, social and well-socialized young guy who gets along wonderfully with other dogs. He enjoys having canine friends, loves being around people and is always ready to participate in whatever is happening.

Nobody asked Zeus to participate.

Zeus participates anyway.

He eats his meals in his crate and is comfortable settling there, so he already has some excellent household manners. He’s also potty trained and leash trained, which means you get all the fun of a goofy adolescent dog without starting completely from scratch.

Zeus is good with children, but because he is a young, enthusiastic and exuberant boy, we recommend children over 12 years old.

There is absolutely no malice in this dog.

There is, however, momentum.

Zeus’ Forever Home Wish List

Active humans
Plenty of playtime
Continued training and adventures
A fully fenced yard — required
Possibly another friendly dog
Children 12+
Someone with a functioning throwing arm
A suspiciously large tennis-ball budget

Zeus would be perfect for an active family looking for a happy, affectionate, social young dog who wants to be part of the action.

He’s handsome.

He’s trained.

He’s social.

He’s fully vetted.

And he is prepared to bring his own ball to this relationship.

Honestly, what more could you ask for?

Zeus is ready for his forever family.

You bring the home. He’ll bring the ball.

Zeus is currently being fostered in Texas but available to transport to approved adopter in the Midwest, Northeast and Canada.

$400 Adoption fee includes vaccinations, Spay/Neuter, microchip, deworming,
$300 fee for Transport and vet/documentation requirements in preparation for transport.
