Zeus is an 11 year old male Golden Retriever whose owner died. The relatives simply took Zeus to the animal shelter on a weekend. We were notified and knew that a senior golden who was totally confused and bewildered at being left there alone would not do well in 95 degree weather in a building that was not air conditioned. One of our volunteers dropped everything and went to get him out. She probably saved his life. She took him home for the night and he got along great with her goldens so he’s a good boy. We put Zeus into one of our wonderful foster homes and he decided that was were he would stay. According to Greek mythology, Zeus was the most powerful God. We think he simply used his golden powers to make his desires a reality. Now he will live out the remainder of his days knowing love, affection and all the spoils of family life.
