This is Zeus a.k.a BIG POPPA
We got him as a stray and He is a loving ,cuddly , big baby. He is a little shy and has a little anxiety due to being outside I’m assuming . But once he warms up he is your best friend . He is house trained and knows a few basic command . He is neutered. And is up-to-date on all his shots. He is also microchipped. Unfortunately He is not a fan of older men and will growl etc. (like in their 60s not sure why ) I live with an older guy and can no longer have him :( . He is the perfect dog for a loving family .
