We are a volunteer run rescue and donate our time to these dogs. IF you are not serious about moving forward in our adoption process, please do not apply.

Please note our process starts with an application. If we think you might be a good fit, we will reach out to coordinate a phone interview. This is followed by a video call with the foster home. Virtual home visit, personal and vet reference checks are required to complete the process. Transport is included in our adoption donation.

Zeus, 8 months old (est DOB June 2025), neutered male, Retriever mixed breeds, currently weighs 23 pounds. We are a little unsure how big he will get when full grown. We think he is a blend of several breeds which will likely impact his size. He is currently in a foster home in SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS and is able to transport once an adopter is approved.


Zeus is an 8-month-old mixed breed puppy who has shown incredible resilience after a very difficult start to life. He and his siblings were abandoned in a wooded area outside San Antonio, where they survived by seeking shelter from the elements and scavenging for food. Thankfully, a Good Samaritan discovered the litter and brought them to safety.

Now thriving in a loving foster home, Zeus is learning the comforts and routines of indoor life. He is making great progress with crate training, beginning to understand house manners, and soaking up the joy of toys, soft beds, and regular meals. His foster describes him as affectionate, gentle, and eager to bond, with a naturally sweet and people-oriented personality.

Zeus loves car rides (his absolute favorite!), daily walks, and outdoor adventures. He enjoys being close to his people and is a true cuddle bug who melts right into you. With continued structure, positive reinforcement, and opportunities to explore the world, Zeus will continue to grow into a confident and devoted companion.

Zeus is:

Affectionate and people-focused

Progressing well with crate training

Learning house manners

Gentle, loving, and eager to please

A fan of car rides, walks, and outings

Expected to be medium-sized when fully grown

Zeus also has an identical sister, Athena, who is available for adoption separately.

Young, adaptable, and full of love, Zeus would do well in a variety of homes that can offer patience, consistency, and companionship. He’s ready for his forever family and will reward them with loyalty, affection, and a whole lot of heart.

Vetting: Up to date on age-appropriate vaccines, dewormed, and neutered.
