Adopt ZEUS

German Shorthaired Pointer · Male · Adult · 8 years

Hi, I'm Zeus and I'd like to tell you my story. I spent the first four years of my life locked in a box, in an environment devoid of stimuli, making very few experiences of the outside world. That's why when I arrived in the barrel I was very scared, I didn't trust people, I didn't accept the leash and in the big spaces I was stuck. But thanks to (tag Davide) I have embarked on a beautiful path marked by trust. David taught me to manage the environment where I am, to use the nose to explore and walk on the leash. A little at a time, I learned to be with the other volunteers and get close to them. I'm still a little distrustful, but since I arrived, I've made a lot of progress. Zeus has improved a lot but remains a shy dog who needs time to learn to trust. We are looking for him for a family who knows how to give him the right attention, available at different meetings, that allows him to live in the house but that he has a garden. Not compatible with other animals. Compatible with children as long as not too small as they could scare him.

Ciao sono Zeus e vorrei raccontarvi la mia storia. Ho passato i primi quattro anni della mia vita chiuso in un box, in un ambiente privo di stimoli, facendo pochissime esperienze del mondo esterno. Per questo quando sono arrivato in canile ero molto spaventato, non mi fidavo delle persone, non accettavo il guinzaglio e negli spazi grandi mi bloccavo. Ma grazie a (taggare Davide) ho intrapreso un bellissimo percorso improntato sulla fiducia. Davide mi ha insegnato a gestire l'ambiente in cui mi trovo, ad utilizzare il naso per esplorare e a camminare al guinzaglio. Un po' alla volta ho imparato a stare anche con gli altri volontari e ad avvicinarmi a loro. Sono ancora un po' diffidente ma da quando sono arrivato ho fatto tanti progressi. Zeus è migliorato molto ma rimane un cane timido che ha bisogno di tempo per imparare a fidarsi. Cerchiamo per lui una famiglia che sappia dargli le giuste attenzioni, disponibile a diversi incontri, che gli consenta di vivere in casa ma che disponga di un giardino. Non compatibile con altri animali. Compatibile con bambini purché non troppo piccoli in quanto potrebbero spaventarlo.
