UPDATE:

Hey, I'm still here, with no inquiries,,,what's wrong with me? What? My age? Poo! I'm a little spit fire. I see people's faces when my foster mom says "Zeus is 10."  Oh, I thought he was a puppy.  Well, if I look like a puppy and act like a puppy, aren't I then a puppy?

I have "chicken legs" because before I came to L.E.A.R.N. I lived outside in a restricted area and did not have the proper exercise.  Now that I have a big yard, I went a bit nuts with the running.  I went to the Physical Therapist and had a chiropractic adjustment and a check-up on my back legs.  So, I take an inexpensive supplement from the Vet and a few my foster mom adds to my food.  I'm in great shape in spite of my little "chicken legs."  But for now, I have to do slow walking until I can build up my chicken leg muscles.  Woof . . . I would rather run everywhere, not walk....

My name is Zeus, and I am 10 years young. . .  I have the activity level of a 5 year old!  My owner died when I was 5, and the family didn't want me in the house, so I have lived outside for the last 5 years.  I now live with foster mom, 2 big old Labs and 2 cats.  We all get along.  I don't need to chase the cats, they wait for me to come to them. 

I haven't forgot how to live in a home.  I am completely potty trained.  I am learning the routine of when we go out, when we eat, all that great stuff that I missed for the last 5 years. I am on a healthy diet of no grain kibble....nothing special about that.  I also am getting a supplement because all dogs over 8 need to preserve their youthful figures. 

I do settle down after a day of being a ball of energy.  I know how to "sit," "stay" (just a bit) and learning "down" and "off."  I get really excited when I first meet folks, but if you make sure you bend down to greet me, I won't jump.

I really want a family that will love me, and I like the attention and play with other dogs.  I have been alone for 5 years, I really want to stay by your side.  I go to work with my foster mom where there are dog treats all around me . . . and kids and dogs and cats and a rabbit.  I love it all!  I greet the customers and their pets...Wow, life is grand!

Won't you please come meet me?  I so want a forever family to love me in my senior years.
