Zeus, a loveable four-year-old Staffie cross, has been on the charity’s Leeds and Wakefield department, in East Ardsley, since November 2022 and is presently one of many RSPCA’s longest-staying dogs within the North of England.
The pup got here into the native centre’s care after he was signed over by his earlier proprietor who couldn’t afford the veterinary remedy wanted for Zeus’ mange an infection on the time.
During his time on the centre, Zeus has been described by workers and volunteers as a sweetheart who has a lot love to provide, who loves his coaching.
Volunteer on the centre, Aisling Eley, stated: “Zeus is such an intelligent bundle of love! He loves to learn new things (especially if there are treats involved!) and play loads of games in the dog-house, especially tug.
“But beyond his love for treats and play, Zeus loves nothing more than to cuddle up with his favourite people for a snooze on the sofa.”
Despite his completely satisfied manner and his love for individuals, his dislike for different dogs has since made it troublesome for him to discover a home.
Megan Rattray, Animal Care Manager on the RSPCA Leeds and Wakefield department, who’s answerable for Zeus’ coaching stated: “We’ve taught Zeus the basics and he is a pro at giving his paw.
“His main focus has been on his dog aggression and reactivity and helping him understand that other dogs are ok to be around.
“We’re also focusing on his walking outside of the centre – he is an excitable dog and is intrigued by everything (he’s very nosey!) so, loose lead walking is key and he’s been doing great with this too. He’s also learnt how to open his handlers treat bag and nick all the tasty ones!
“His new owners would need to be committed to continuing his training.”
