Adopt Zeus a Tan/Yellow/Fawn Mastiff / Mixed dog in Chicago, IL (35305414)

Location:

Chicago, IL

Description:

When he first arrived at CCR, we knew Zeus was a big boy with an even bigger heart! In spite of his bad luck, it was clear to us that he wanted nothing more than to have a friend (and maybe a stuffed animal or two!) by his side. He eventually got his wish and was adopted by a young couple, and for the next several months we had hoped Zeus was thriving in his new home. Unfortunately, however, Zeus was returned to us in December of 2022, just four months after his initial adoption, and he's had a difficult time adjusting to life in the shelter ever since. Zeus struggles with severe reactivity to other dogs, and weighing in at 93lbs he turned out to be too much to handle for his adopters at the time. All of this being said, Zeus is probably the living embodiment of a "gentle giant". Zeus is one of the friendliest and most affectionate dogs to have graced us at CCR, he absolutely adores people and the only thing he may love more is all the stuffed animals he keeps with him wherever he goes! At just over 2 years old he still has plenty of energy to burn. He loves playing tug of war and keep-away with the staff, and he's known to enjoy a game of fetch if the price is right! Zeus is well past the puppy/teenage stage of needing constant high energy outlets and is perfectly content exploring the outdoors on his own (as long as you're nearby) or cozying up on the couch to watch a movie. He truly is a well-rounded guy who just wants a pal to keep him company!Due to his size and on-leash reactivity- we suggest that Zeus be the only animal in the home and only go into a house with adults or children over the age of 15.
