Adopt Zeus

Mastiff · Male · Young · 1 year

Gorgeous boy Zeus is looking for his forever person(s). We were recently approached by Aberdeenshire Dog Warden to see if we could help with Zeus and after meeting him we felt we had to offer this young lad a chance at a happily ever after, how could we not… Any potential adopter should be aware that, sadly, we have little information on Zeus, other than our meetings with him and how he has behaved in the kennels. Needless to say all the staff in the kennels love him! During his stay he has been found to be super friendly, loves a cuddle and to play with his ball. Zeus is a very sweet natured dog. He is very young and has had very little training but we have found him to be extremely responsive and quick to learn. He is good on the lead but can get over excited and wants to talk to everyone and all other dogs. He will need a strong and confident handler due to his size. He has been checked by a vet and is in good health. We have commenced his immunisation and other treatments. With having no history for him we have decided an adult only home, with no other pets would be ideal. We would like nothing more than to give this beautiful soul a warm sofa to cuddle up on. If you feel you could offer Zeus the loving home he deserves please contact the office directly on or click on “Request to adopt Zeus now”.

About Zeus

What life with Zeus looks like

Zeus is a large young adult mastiff dog waiting at DAWGS.

An young adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. Plan a "decompression fortnight" — quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures — to let them settle.

🇬🇧Adopting from United Kingdom

UK shelters work under the Pet Travel Scheme (post-Brexit, the EU pet passport is not valid; a UK Animal Health Certificate is required for travel into the EU). Most UK rescues focus on domestic placements but some work with EU partners.

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. DAWGS 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 — DAWGS 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. UK adopters: post-Brexit travel into the EU requires an Animal Health Certificate. 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 DAWGS 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.
