ZEUS

Mixed Breed · Male

ZEUS – “FOUR WALKS A WEEK CHANGED MY WORLD… BUT I’M HOPING FOR MORE” Hi, I’m Zeus. I recently moved here from another shelter where there were very few visitors. That meant there weren’t many chances to get out, explore, sniff, stretch my legs… or simply spend time with people. Things are better for me now. Four days a week, the volunteers come and take me out. And believe me – I know exactly what those days mean! When my kennel door opens, I’m usually in quite a hurry. There’s important business to attend to, and apparently I have a particular preference for reversing into the bushes to do it. Once that mission is accomplished, though, I settle right down and walk beautifully on the lead. The volunteers say I’m a gorgeous, affectionate and loving boy. I’m good around other dogs, I’m not bothered by those we meet on our walks, and if you have a treat for me, I’ll sit and take it ever so gently. I weigh around 31 kg, so there’s quite a lot of me to love – and I have plenty of love to give in return. I’m grateful for my four walks a week. I really am. But there are seven days in a week and what I’m really dreaming of is waking up somewhere where every day belongs to me too. A morning walk. A comfy bed. Someone calling my name. A hand reaching down for a cuddle. Maybe a doggy friend. And no kennel door closing behind me when our time together is over. I’ve already spent enough of my life waiting for people to come. Maybe now I can finally have someone who stays. Zeus Approx. 31 kg Affectionate, loving and sociable Good with other dogs Walks beautifully once the initial excitement is over Takes treats incredibly gently Looking for his forever home Could Zeus be the one waiting for you? Approx weight 29/04/26: 31.25kg Pawgress report from volunteer Helen 15/07/26: Zeus is my first dog I go to each time, he is desperate to get out and do his business and we will pull quite hard to the road where the bushes are, he seems to reverse into the bushes to do his business When you get a treat out he sits down and takes it so gently. He doesn’t pull on the lead once he’s completed his business He not bothered by other dogs . Pupdate 04/09/26: Sally says what a wonderful boy Zeus is walks beautifully, great with other dogs. He’s great with cats no issues. The perfect boy.

About ZEUS

What life with ZEUS looks like

ZEUS is a medium-sized adult mixed breed dog waiting at Murcia) in Lips Rescue.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. Two reasonable walks a day plus play time is usually enough. Plan a "decompression fortnight" — quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures — to let them settle.

🇪🇸Adopting from Spain

Spanish protectoras generally include sterilization, all vaccinations, microchip ID, and EU pet passport in the adoption fee (typically €250–€400 for a dog, €100–€180 for a cat). Many maintain partnerships with rescue transport providers across the EU.

Frequently asked

Adopting ZEUS, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about ZEUS?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Murcia) handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw ZEUS on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt ZEUS if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Murcia) will tell you what they need (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is ZEUS already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
Most dogs on TailHarbor leave their shelter with sterilization, current vaccinations, microchip ID, and an EU pet passport included in the adoption fee. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported — ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if ZEUS isn't the right fit?
Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work — that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with Murcia) early rather than rehoming privately; they know ZEUS and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.
Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?
TailHarbor translates shelter descriptions into English from the source language (EN). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.
