Zeus McGoose Cutie On The Loose

Let's all take a second to appreciate what is happening with Zeus McGoose's ears. Seriously... they deserve their own fan club! Between those long, floppy ears, his beautiful golden-red locks, the adorable freckles sprinkled across his nose, and those perfectly expressive little forehead wrinkles, Zeus looks like he walked straight out of a storybook. He's the kind of dog that makes people stop scrolling, smile, and immediately think, "Okay... I need to know more about this guy." The good news? His personality is every bit as wonderful as his looks. Zeus is sweet, fun, easy to live with, and has that perfect balance so many people hope to find. He's playful without bouncing off the walls, affectionate without needing to be glued to your side, and happy simply being part of whatever you're doing. Whether he's carrying around one of his beloved squeaky toys, lounging in the sunshine, or hanging out with his people after a day of fun, Zeus has this easygoing charm that's incredibly easy to fall in love with. Zeus is approximately 2 years old, currently weighs around 28 lbs, and we believe he may be a Cocker Spaniel mix. He is currently fostered in a multi-dog home with several little dogs that weigh around 10-12 lbs, and he's done wonderfully with them. He's not the type that's constantly trying to wrestle or play all day long, but he definitely enjoys having little buddies to run around the backyard with. He seems perfectly content doing his own thing, joining in when he feels like it, and then settling back down again. Zeus's priorities include squeaky toys, which he absolutely loves, and he likes keeping them nearby almost like they're his emotional support buddies. Balls are another favorite, and watching him happily bounce around the yard with a toy in his mouth is guaranteed to make you smile. He's also a smart cookie. Zeus already knows how to sit, absolutely loves treats, takes them with the gentlest mouth, and genuinely enjoys learning. His foster describes him as eager to please, which makes working with him both fun and rewarding. Zeus is crate trained and does wonderfully in his crate. He's also doing really well with potty training; accidents in the house are very rare.

Ideal Home

We think Zeus would be happiest in a home with a backyard where he can chase toys, zoom around when the mood strikes, stretch out for an afternoon sunbath, and enjoy all the little things that make him happiest. Based on everything we've learned about him so far, we think he has wonderful potential to become an incredible family dog, especially for a family with older kids that want a goofy, toy-loving companion to grow up with.

Ongoing Health

All vetting is included, including DAPP with booster, Bordetella, Rabies vaccine, multiple broad spectrum deworming treatments, spay/neuter, flea prevention, a 12 month heartworm preventative injectable, heartworm test and treatment if needed, and a microchip with free lifetime registration.

Training & Support

Zeus is crate trained and does wonderfully in his crate. He's also doing really well with potty training. His foster shares that accidents in the house are very rare, and while he's still putting the finishing touches on always remembering exactly where the appropriate potty spots are, he's already built a really solid foundation. Zeus knows how to sit, loves treats, and is eager to please.
