Zeus, a big, silly pup who enjoys a consistent routine is ready to find a “furever” home after almost two months at the Richmond Animal Shelter.
Much like his namesake, the one-year-old Anatolian shepherd and Akbash mix is a big boy with lots of love to give.
He is also a loyal dog who is a “sucker for human companionship.”
Zeus arrived at the newly refurbished shelter run by BC SPCA around 57 days ago, and shelter staff said he has been able to improve his fearfulness around men and other dogs.
“We believe that with the proper training and socialization, this fearfulness can be corrected,” reads the shelter’s adoption page.
Like many humans, Zeus is nervous around new people and things but will show endless love once he manages to build trust.
Zeus is looking for a patient owner who can take the time to socialize him and give him a consistent routine to “be his best self.”
Shelter staff recommends that Zeus start off as the only dog in the household. Although he may be able to get along with other dogs in the future, he currently does not like to share his space and things with other animals.
A yard or property is also ideal as Zeus often gets “big zoomies.”
“Due to him being such a large dog, he would do best with a family that does not have younger children,” reads the adoption page.
