Zeus Black Labrador Retriever Mix Bowmanville, ON

Meet Zeus!

This special boy came from a kill shelter.
He's looking for a foster or forever home.
His current foster Mom who saved him from the shelter is truly ill and is looking at weeks of recovery and this is the only reason he needs to be moved from there. Here's a little about Zeus!

Zeus is a happy, high energy dog. He's well suited to someone active who can give him lots of walks and stimulation. He LOVES to fetch and is darn good at it. It's not enough to fully drain him, he does need a walk, but he will fetch for a good long time. He does pull on leash so training with a gentle leader will help or an easy walk harness.

He's a very bright boy who trains and bonds quickly. All he wants is to please his people.
He knows several commands inclung sit, down, stay and off. He needs an owner who is in control or he can slip easily into behaviours to seek attention (jump up with paws on counter or shake pillows as toys). As long as he knows these are not acceptable, and feels you are in charge - he won't misbehave. This also comes back to his exercise needs. Zeus is not suited to apartment living.

Zeus is extremely good with people - sometimes he will mouth if allowed but he is gentle to extreme. He is terrific with other dogs off leash and has made great improvements when meeting them on leash as well.

Zeus is a love bug. After his walk, a game of fetch or some tug, he's ready to curl up and snuggle. He does enjoy the companionship of the resident senior female in the home and will snuggle up to her when it comes nap time.
