About Zeus
************** PLEASE APPLY AT www.gsrv.com.au ****************************
Zeus is 6.5 years old and finds himself homeless and without a family to love. Zeus is currently staying with our friends at RSPCA Victoria and is looking to break out of the shelter ASAP so that he can start living the life he deserves.
Zeus is a total sweetheart, he is affectionate with people and leans into you for a cuddle, he loves a bum scratch and loves treats and being told what a good boy he is. Zeus is an easy-going boy and is quite independent, he is happy enough to sniff around in the backyard and chew on a bone or Kong to keep him busy.
Zeus has been diagnosed with elbow dysplasia and stage 1 kidney disease, he does get very nervous and frightened at the vet and up until recently has been in quite a bit of pain. We will manage Zeus’s pain for as long as we can, ensuring he is comfortable and lives a happy life. Zeus will join our forever foster program, this means we will search for a forever family for Zeus who will provide him the love and care he needs, whilst GSRV supports and manages his existing medical conditions.
Zeus hasn’t had much exposure to the outside world recently and hasn’t been for walks or adventures, he does pull when on lead and is still very active despite his condition. Zeus is looking for someone that has large-breed experience, he will benefit from regular short walks to keep him moving which will help him to shed some extra weight he is carrying.
Although Zeus has been exposed to children previously and always been good with them, he is better suited to a home with older children over 8 years old that can understand that Zeus may sometimes be feeling a little sore and needs some space.
Zeus grew up with another dog, however this was not a positive experience for him and often resulted in fights, due to this, he can be reactive to other dogs when out on a walk and will bark at them and pull hard. Zeus is best suited as the only dog in his new home, he wants and deserves to be the centre of his new family’s universe and would like to keep his distance from other dogs for now. Zeus has not been tested with cats or other small pets.
Zeus is a sweet boy who is looking for someone that can take care of him and show him the unconditional love he deserves; he is looking for an understanding family who will invite him inside into the home where he can cuddle up in his own warm bed by his humans. Zeus has a lifetime of love and affection to make up for, he deserves a fresh start and for someone to make him feel special.

Adoption details
We offer a 'Foster to Adopt' program. This means that the dog will go to live with their adoptive family for 4 weeks to ensure it is the perfect match for both the dog and new family. After the 4 weeks is complete, if all has gone well, the adoption is formalised and your new doggy companion is officially yours!
If you are interested in adopting from us, we ask that you fill out the Adoption Application form on our website (via the link provided below) with as much detail as possible, including the name of the dog you are interested in.
We do not rehome female dogs to a home where there is an existing female dog. Whilst there are always exceptions, it is generally unwise to have two females together; two males can sort it out, a male and a female can sort it out, but when two females fight, the results can be disastrous. For this reason, following the advice from numerous Veterinary behaviourists, as well as our own experience from the last eight years, we do not rehome females into homes with other female dogs.
All of our dogs are de-sexed, vaccinated, microchipped, flea and worm treated
Puppies (2 months to 4 months) - $1000
Puppies (4 to 6 months) - $800
Adolescents (6 months to 1 year) - $700
Mature (1 year to 6 years) - $600
Senior (7 years plus) - $350
