This handsome, leggy guy was recently surrendered to NCCR through no fault of his own. Zeus is a 1 1/2-2 year old male Golden Retriever/German Shepherd mix (Golden in the front and Shepherd in the back!) – he has a Golden’s face and ears and a German Shepherd’s coat color and pattern complete with the classic black saddle. Zeus lived with a baby in his home, and reportedly gets along well with most other dogs, and enjoys cats but likes to tease & chase them. He is mostly crate trained but could use some ongoing work on his house training skills and on learning not to jump up. He likes toys, and is well-behaved in the house when unsupervised and won’t chew things up that he shouldn’t. Zeus loves to go for rides & would make an excellent co-pilot! He seems to love almost everyone – almost! Mail Carriers are not to be trusted, in his opinion. If you have the time & patience to help him become the best dog he can be, and can promise him forever (and mean it!), he can’t wait to meet you! Zeus will soon be a real gem of a dog with just a little bit of polishing!
If you think you might be interested in adopting, your first step should be to complete an Adoption Application. *After you have completed your application, you will get a confirmation that we have received your application. It takes a lot of time to process the applications, so we ask for your patience while we do so. If you see that the dog you were interested in has been adopted it means there were many applications for that dog and we did not get as far as processing your application before a home was found. We welcome you to apply again if you see another dog that interests you. If you have a question, please email your question to adoptions@caninerescue.org. It is much easier and quicker for us to respond by email as we receive many phone calls each day.
We do adopt out of state, however we do not transport or ship dogs. Potential adopter must be able and willing to travel to the Rescue to meet the dog they are interested in.
*PLEASE double check all of the phone numbers that you provide as if they are incorrect, we will be unable to process your application. Please also let your references know that someone from NCCR will be calling them. Most adoption team members call from their personal phone so advise your references that there may be an unknown number or a private number calling them.
Zeus is kindly sponsored by Alicia Finnerty, The Courtine Family in memory of Plutewhistle, Ryan, Ellie, Michael, and Zoey Wise, and Suzanne, Tillie Mae and Mimzie in memory of Bron Bron. Thank you!
