I’m Zeus, chief god of the Greeks.
Oh no. That was a different Zeus.

I’m Zeus. The 4 year old Great Dane saved from a North Carolina shelter.

But I’m awesome just the same.

I am so friendly and sweet that the pilot that brought me to Maryland wanted to adopt me. He actually asked his wife and she said no. (He should rehome her.)

I am crate trained and potty trained. I am good in the house as long as there isn’t something super tempting around like a bag of treats or steak sitting on the counter. I take treats extremely gently. I know sit and down.

I am a happy boy. I have moderate energy. I love to shake my stuffy toys. I love playing fetch with the ball and I even bring the ball back. I also love a bully stick or filled Kong to chew on. My foster mom says I’m a good boy and I don’t resource guard. My foster mom always feeds us all separately though because she says it’s best to not create a problem.

I am living with 2 Great Danes. I love to play with both the male and the female. My foster mom says my foster brother is a butt because he doesn’t always get along well with other dogs but even do great with him.

There is a little ankle biter dog who lives next door that barks at me and I pretty much ignore him.

There are chickens here too and my foster mom says she doesn’t believe I have good intentions.

I sleep in my crate at night and go in with a couple of treats. I am quiet as a church mouse all night. I am left in a room during the day if foster mom can’t watch me and I’m not destructive.

My foster mom says I am excited to go on a leash and I pull but should get better with practice. I now use a gentle leader and I am perfect with that.

I love car rides (and plane rides if you happen to want to take me on a plane). I literally just lay down in the car and occasionally sit up to look out the window.

I’m happy and confident and love all people big or small. I even met a cat at tractor supply and sniffed but did not fixate and my foster mom thinks I would be fine with a dog savvy cat. I also met a little dog that growled at me when I sniffed his butt and I just waked away. My foster mom believes I would do fine with a little dog. I have also gone to Home Depot and I was an extremely good boy there also. I love meeting new people.

I don’t seem bothered by loud noises like the leaf blower or thunder or the vacuum cleaner. I love to be petted all over. I was ok for my bath. I liked the rub down but not the water but my foster mom thinks I just am not used to it.

I am very treat motivated and take treats very gently.

I am friendly with kids so a dog savvy kid should be great. I would love a playful canine sibling but I would be fine as an only pet as long as I get a little exercise like playing ball once or twice a day.
