Yorkies are known for their confidence, smarts, and spunky personalities, while Maltese dogs are gentle, affectionate, and playful. Together, Zeus embodies the best of both breeds: he’s smart, loyal, and full of potential to be a fun, devoted family member once he builds up his confidence. Zeus’s Story & Personality: Zeus came to his foster home timid and under-socialized, likely from a background where he didn’t have much exposure to people or home life. But this little guy is showing incredible bravery and has already made huge strides. His foster mom says he’s quick to learn, starting to trust, and is especially happy when romping with his doggy friends. Zeus will do best in a quiet home with patient adopters who will give him the time and space to settle in at his own pace. Once he feels safe, his playful, sweet side begins to shine—and he’ll reward your love with his adorable energy and cuddles. Zeus’s Ideal Home: - A calm household with older kids (12+) or adults only - A doggy sibling to help him feel secure and confident - A secure fenced yard for playtime while he learns leash skills - Experienced or patient adopters willing to work with a shy pup Ready to Help Zeus Bloom?
