Adopt Zeus

Akita · Male · Adult · 5 years

Zeus is the kind of dog who makes friends wherever he goes. He greets everyone with a wagging tail, bright eyes, and a readiness for affection. He travels well in the car, is well-mannered at the vets, and is always eager to get out and explore the world. While he can be strong at times, he would thrive with owners who are confident with larger dogs or are willing to learn and continue his training in a positive, supportive way. He has a playful side and is a big fan of soft toys, and being very food-motivated makes training both fun and rewarding. More than anything, Zeus loves being part of everyday life, whether that’s heading out on an adventure, enjoying a walk, playing games, or simply settling down for some well-earned cuddles. If you’re looking for a dog who will be your shadow, your cuddle companion, and your most loyal friend, Zeus could be the perfect match. Home requirements: Meet Zeus, a five-year-old Akita cross who is all about people, snuggles, and exploring the world. This affectionate boy will gently nudge your hand for “just one more fuss” and brings a lovely mix of warmth, goofiness, and love wherever he goes. With his gentle nature, Zeus can live with primary school–aged children and would make a wonderful companion for a family looking for a loyal best friend. Zeus would be happiest as the only pet in the home, although he would benefit from ongoing training and socialisation around other dogs. As he loves having his people close by, he will need a home with low leaving hours initially, with time built up gradually as he settles. He can feel a little unsure when left alone, so patience and reassurance will help him feel secure. Being a bigger boy, Zeus would also love a garden of his own to enjoy, ideally with 6ft fencing where he can safely stretch his legs and have a little zoom around. Available at Shrewsbury (Shropshire), Telford
