Zeus - Pit Bull Terrier and Boxer Dog for Adoption in Shermans Dale, Pennsylvania

Age: 8 years
Size: 70 lbs
Estimated breed: Pit bull/Boxer mix

Zeus - the big boy with an even bigger story to share! Zeus spent most of his life with one owner, who recently found himself homeless and was permitted to live in a local church. While defending the church from an intruder, Zeus' owner ended up arrested, leaving Zeus now both homeless AND family-less. He was taken to the shelter, where he understandably was confused and shutdown. Fortunately, his luck turned around when a foster took him in for the past year, keeping him safe from euthanasia at the shelter. After being overlooked in a SC foster home for over a year, it was time for a change of scenery. Zeus is now safe in our foster care and ready to find the very best retirement home!

Zeus is around 8 years old and weighs 70 lbs. He is the epitome of a gentle giant, always sweet and tentative with everyone. He lives with two large male dogs currently, and lived with five other dogs in his SC foster home for a year. He's a laid-back guy, so he'll keep to himself if play gets too rough. His jam? Cuddles on dog beds with anyone who will have him, dogs or humans alike! He can keep up on walks and hikes but doesn't need a lot of high intensity exercise daily to keep him enriched. Zeus is crate trained, basically house trained (you should always expect a few accidents when putting a dog in a new environment), and walks well on leash. He's done great meeting kids at adoption events too!

Zeus is a total dreamboat of a dog and will do well with just about anyone who's able to open their heart and home to him.
