ZEUS - MASTIFF / MIXED (SHORT COAT) DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Mastiff / Mixed (short coat). Hi, I’m Zeus, a 6-year-old Mastiff–Rottweiler mix weighing in at a totally manageable 103 lbs (even though I firmly believe I’m lap-sized). If you’re looking for world-class cuddles, look no further. I was surrendered to my foster by my family because my parents were getting divorced. Neither could find space for me in their new homes. It's been a hard transition but I'm finally coming out of my shell. I’m sweet, soft-hearted, and full of love, living up to the title of gentle giant. I adore dogs, do great with kids, and I’m totally cool with cats—no chasing, just peaceful coexistence. I’m fully potty trained, walk beautifully on a leash (no pulling here!), and I know my basics commands like sit and drop it. I am a good boy and proud of it. Even though I am 6 at heart, I’m still a big puppy. My determination to catch my own tail and joyful energy is guaranteed to make you laugh even on your worst day. Toys? Oh, I love them… but fair warning: if it squeaks, I will surgically remove the squeaker with my teeth. A few things I’m working on: I can be shy and bark when people show up unannounced, men especially, but I’m working hard on my confidence. Public outings are helping a lot, and I’m improving every day. I don’t love being alone and would do best with someone who has time for me—or even better, another medium to large dog to keep me company. I’m a bit of a counter surfer and an occasional trash inspector. A locked trash can solves that problem completely. But my foster has yet to find a place high enough on her shelves to keep me from having a second breakfast. I'm clever but not destructive. If you’re looking for a loyal shadow, a cuddle buddy, and a companion who will love you endlessly, I might just be your guy.
