Zeus is a mighty dog, worthy of Mount Olympus and all the fanfare. He is a very good boy and knows commands, such as “sit,” “shake,” and “come.” He consistently responds to his name being called too. He is 86 pounds, but really wants to be a lap dog.

He is doing really great in his foster home and has been working on not jumping on people when he’s excited. He needs some confidence for car rides, but that just may be because he doesn’t know how to move his own body into a vehicle.

Zeus is a people-pleaser and very food motivated. He is house-trained but not crate-trained. At first, a large yard with 6 foot fencing is required. He loves to be outside for many hours at a time and he’d probably become an excellent trail-partner and camper.
