Zeus is a big, enthusiastic boy with an even bigger heart! He loves to meet new people and can get a little overexcited in the moment-his favorite way to say hello is by jumping up to make sure he gets your full attention. Because of this, Zeus would do best in an adult-only home with someone ready to help him work on his manners and channel all that energy into positive outlets.
Once he settles in, Zeus shows his sweet, affectionate side and loves spending time playing with his toys. With patience, consistency, and love, this playful giant has all the potential to grow into the well-mannered, loyal companion he's meant to be.
If you're looking for a fun-loving, goofy dog to share your life with-and you're ready to help him shine-Zeus might just be your perfect match!
