History: Zeus was a transfer from a local shelter. He supposedly bit his original owner though we do not know the circumstances. So far he has been with us for about a month and he is the absolute sweetest little doll ever.

Zeus is crate trained, great with children, cats, and other dogs, and eager to please. He enjoys sitting with his loved one on the couch, following the cats around, or walking around outside though the outside is very short lived as he prefers the indoors..

Zeus would be a wonderful addition to any family wanting a quiet, happy, sweet little boy who would love to curl up on a sofa to hang out and watch tv with. He seems to enjoy smaller dogs like himself.

He would do best with a loving family and lots of cuddle time on the couch with his loved ones. Get your application in quickly as this cutie will be snatched up in a heart beat!!

Neutered, microchipped, and current on all vaccinations. Please be aware he is going to be shaved down due to matting.

Adoption Fee $300
