12 Days of Happy Tails: Meet Zeus
@the.zeus.is.loose
Lucky number 7 in our 12 Days of Happy Tails is one of our volunteer favorites, Zeus!⚡️ Zeus came to us from the Animal Care Centers of NYC (ACC) and his loving, cuddly personality and kisses for all staff members and volunteers who spent time with him meant that he quickly became a fan favorite.
Joseph found Zeus on our website and knew he was the pup for him from the moment he saw him online. Joseph, having just said a heartbreaking goodbye to his furry family member, Miss Chloe, says, “His beautiful eyes and soft demeanor melted my heart every time I visited the site during the process and he was the one to heal my broken heart.” Miss Chloe was a senior rescue that Joseph had the pleasure of giving a home to for the end of her life. Joseph knew he wanted to welcome another dog into the family and was willing to jump right back into adoption when the right dog came along.
Joseph’s meet and greet with Zeus went even better than imagined and he brought Zeus home that night!
Courage!
Joseph and Zeus are an inseparable duo - Zeus gets to go to work with Joseph every day. He was enrolled in agility training, spent the summer swimming in the pond near their home, and hiking in autumn. Because Joseph was curious as to what his best friend’s DNA makeup is, he looked into a DNA test. The results? 100% adorable, mixed with Staffy, Bulldog and German Shepherd.
And for Halloween this year, Zeus dressed up as the cutest and most non-ferocious lion we’ve ever seen.
Zeus has touched the lives of countless people in Joseph’s life —“He has such a personality and every day more and more comes out.”
Zeus and Joseph are a perfect example of how the right connection is out there. We are so happy these two best friends found each other.
This holiday season, you can help make a difference in the lives of pups like Zeus. Please help us give hundreds of dogs and people the chance to find happiness.
You can continue to follow Zeus’s adventures on his instagram.
