Zeus, the lovely doggo who waited!
Zeus, a resilient and loving doggo, spent over a year at Canterbury Bankstown Animal Shelter patiently waiting for his new home. Despite the long wait, Zeus never lost hope that one day he would find a family to call his own.
However, Zeus's dream home was not just around the corner. It was located a staggering 14 hours away in Adelaide!
"We had found the perfect home for Zeus, but it was 14 hours away from our Animal Shelter," shared Macy from Canterbury Bankstown Animal Shelter. "The new adopter searched for transport, but the cost was very high and very limited. Upon searching, I remembered seeing PetRescue's Pet Transport Program for a free flight. So, we applied and hoped for the best."
Their hopes were soon met with joyous news – Zeus was eligible for the Pet Transport program, paving the way for his cross-country adventure.

Finally, the moment Zeus had been waiting for arrived. With hearts full of excitement, Zeus bid farewell to his familiar surroundings, in Sydney, and embarked on a journey towards his new home.
His new guardian eagerly greeted him at the airport, in Adelaide, and welcomed him into their home, where he was met with open arms and endless love. "Having Zeus around is so heartwarming," shared the new adopter. "He is just so sweet."

The Pet Transport Program, designed to reduce barriers to adoption by offering free flights for pets, proved to be a game-changer for Zeus and his new family.
“The new adopter was able to receive Zeus free of charge, she then used that money to upgrade her fencing and spoil Zeus with toys.” Macy from Canterbury Bankstown Animal Shelter said.
Zeus's journey from Sydney to Adelaide serves as a reminder that love knows no bounds. Through collaborative efforts and innovative programs like PetRescue's Pet Transport Program, countless rescue pets like Zeus can be given the chance to embark on their own journeys of love and companionship, no matter the distance.
