Zeus! Playful Guy!

My story

Meet our happy and playful older guy named Zeus! Zeus is about 8.5 years old, and he has had a tough life recently. When Zeus was first surrendered to our shelter, he had been living in a car with multiple other dogs for quite some time. He and the other dog we took in were completely emaciated when we first met them, to the point where we could see all of their ribs, hip bones, and vertebrae. Since being with us, Zeus has been steadily gained weight and he will need to continue gaining weight for some time. Don't let Zeus' age fool you, he still has lots of playful energy for playing fetch and going for long walks/hikes. Now that he is feeling better, he loves to chase tennis balls outside and then lay in the shade and chew on a nice toy. Zeus loves getting attention from people and he wants a family to share his love with. Zeus has not shown any food aggression towards our staff, and he is learning to take treats gently from a flat palm. He did live with other dogs prior to coming to our shelter, and we are willing to do a meet and greet with a potential doggie sibling. Zeus does seen to get along better with female dogs over male dogs. He can go to a home with children 12 years old and older who have larger dog experience.
