Zeus loves hard! He loves his people, is so much fun, loves to exercise and run around outside. While he was my first baby I have since had twins, and he is not adjusting as well as we would have liked. He would do best in a home with a fenced in backyard with room to run. He gets along with some dogs, but not all. I'm not sure what kind of a life he had before me- but the past five years with him, he's been spoiled and shown so much love and we would love to find him a home where he is the center of attention again!
