Meet adoptable deaf 4 year old Zeus who is looking for a loving forever home with someone who will cherish him and always keep him safe.

From his caregiver: DEAF Dog Zeus is looking for his forever family! ONLY PET or SMALL DOGS HOME needed.
Breed: Pitbull Mix
Age: 4 years old (Born Dec 15, 2020)
Weight: 90 lbs
Shots: Up to date
Neutered: Yes
Rehoming fee: $100
Location: Southwest Austin. Will drive where needed and provide his belongings.

People-friendly, absolute love and cuddle bug, goofball Zeus is looking for a special family that will accommodate the needs of a deaf dog. He would be best in the only-dog home, but plays well with smaller and medium-size dogs (he loves playing with our other 1 small and 2 medium size dogs). He needs to be fed away from the small dogs as he gets territorial with his food. Likes to sleep with humans, cuddle, follow, sit on your lap, and do everything with you.

Reason for rehoming: Zeus wants lots of attention and does not favor larger dogs. It’s best to keep him on the leash when walking. Our family downsized from 4 people to 2 (my 17-year old daughter and I), and six dogs with special needs that have to be kept separate from each other. With Zeus needing lots of love, we cannot provide adequate attention to the other two large dogs and dogs with special needs (strollers and prosthetics).

Rescued from: at the age of 1.5 y.o. we rescued Zeus from a very young couple who could not provide him proper care. He was originally born for fighting intentions, but once discovered deaf, he was discarded.

Looking for: ideal family who will love him dearly, understand the needs of a deaf dog, will keep him away from large dogs. You have to be able to walk him a lot and hold him if he pulls on a leash, and provide him with play. If taken to dog parks, keep him on a leash. Will only rehome to the right person/family who can genuinely love him and care for him.

Future communication: would like to stay in touch and receive updates on Zeus/provide any additional guidance or answer questions about him to help with his adjustment.
