They named him Zeus at the shelter at Long Beach Animal Care Services. This is doubtless because, despite former neglect and sadness, he’s always the Emperor of Everything in his interactions with staff, volunteers and other dogs. He hasn’t met a soul that he hasn’t loved! Zeus is a 2-year-old boxer/mastiff mix whose former owners gave him far from royal treatment. Zeus was picked up by animal control when someone reported the severe neglect that he and his sister were under. Sadly, the poor sister had died before she could be rescued, too. Zeus, though, stays master of his realm despite his former horrendous treatment. “He always has something to smile about,” one volunteer said. If someone can give Zeus his own forever heaven-on-earth, he’ll never stop smiling! The shelter’s way over capacity with dogs, so speed the process to adopt Zeus or any of our other pets by emailing PetAdopt@longbeach.gov or petfoster@longbeach.gov. You can also call (562) 570-4925.
