Zeus (1)

Akita · Unknown

Meet Zeus Zeus is a beautiful adolescent dog with a huge heart and an even bigger personality. Due to the declining health of his owner, he has sadly found himself adjusting to life in kennels and all the changes that come with it. Although it has been a big transition leaving the family home he knew, Zeus has been settling well and enjoying regular walks and time spent with our team and volunteers as we continue to get to know him better. Zeus is an affectionate and people focused boy who truly enjoys human company. Despite his excitement and youthful energy, he loves close contact and happily leans in for cuddles, strokes, and attention. He enjoys being fussed over and is comfortable being handled on his head, back, and sides. Zeus also loves toys and plays enthusiastically while sharing well, happily allowing toys to be taken from him without issue. He is a confident, energetic, and playful young dog who enjoys interaction and companionship. In his previous home, Zeus was relaxed within his environment and unfazed by everyday household noises, people passing by, or activity around him. This confidence continues out on walks where he shows himself to be environmentally sound and curious about the world around him. At the start of walks, Zeus can be enthusiastic and full of energy, but once he has had the opportunity to decompress and explore, he settles into a calmer pace and is capable of walking close to heel. He enjoys sniffing, taking in his surroundings, and remains calm around noise and unexpected activity without excessive barking or pulling. Zeus is an intelligent dog who responds extremely well to positive, reward based training. He takes treats gently, even when excited, and already knows several commands including sit, lie down, stay, wait, and paw. He is able to maintain focus well and clearly enjoys learning, showing excellent potential for continued training and mental stimulation. He also enjoys grooming and being handled. Socially, Zeus is happy to meet friendly and non-aggressive dogs and can interact politely when introductions are managed appropriately. He has also shown himself to be gentle with children who approach calmly and respectfully, especially when offering treats. However, due to his size and bouncy enthusiasm, he would be best suited to a home with children aged 12 years and over. Zeus has shown no strong prey drive and will calmly observe birds and other animals, although he would not be suitable to live with cats. Zeus would thrive in an active home where he can enjoy regular exercise, longer walks, ongoing training, and continued socialisation. Like many young, energetic dogs, he will benefit from clear and consistent boundaries to help manage his excitement and jumping up. He would suit an adopter with experience of larger or energetic breeds, or someone committed to continuing his training and helping him mature into the fantastic companion he is capable of becoming. Zeus could happily live as the only pet in the home, or potentially with a calm, spayed, large breed female dog following careful introductions. This loving, intelligent, and full of life young dog has so much potential. With the right guidance, companionship, and outlet for his energy, Zeus will make a loyal, affectionate, and fun addition to the right home. Could that be you? If so please complete an adoption form today. Thank you.
