09/24/2016 WEB MEMO
A volunteer writes: Need a morning pick me up? Need a jogging partner? Can’t take a nap in the afternoon but need a pick me up? Zeus is waiting to be your everything! Jumping up and down in his kennel as a ‘pick me, pick me’, he got my attention and he was my first walk of my day. Housetrained as advised by his former owner, going potty was his first priority and off we go. He’s a gorgeous dog, well groomed, a nice weight, active and energetic. We’re told he’s friendly and outgoing with strangers, is tolerant of children, respected the cats with whom he lived, doesn’t guard his stuff, is well behaved when left home alone, and likes to go jogging! Zeus and I shared some cuddles, but if you ask him he’ll tell you that he’s an exercise junky and that’s his first love, cuddles a close second. Zeus pulls towards other dogs we pass in the park, and on his first playdate romped with the helper dog. The perfect companion to an active and energetic person or family, Zeus is looking for a new home in which he’ll get lots of daily exercise and playtime followed up by some loving. If that describes you and your lifestyle look no further for your perfect companion. He’s here and waiting to meet you.
