Meet Ivy.

Have you ever seen a dog go bananas for bananas? If not, you’ve clearly never met Ivy a meatball who loves to snuggle, play doggy brain teaser treat puzzles, and to give the saddest/most sincere puppy eyes while begging for dog-safe fruits & vegetables. She gets along great with cats & loves kids of all ages, but she seems to like other dogs on a case by case basis.

Despite her rough start being kept malnourished in a cage for the first few years of her life & never having a chance to learn how to be a dog, Ivy is a mix of total sweetheart and smiley goofball. She has grown in leaps and bounds since being taken into rescue and becoming a foster dog and is now healthy, happy, heartworm free, and loving life as a couch potato!

Ivy is very trainable with treats and positive reinforcement, so far she has learned sit, down, kiss, and stay! Plus she is beginning to learn shake, over (jump), & spin. Because of her past being locked in a crate, Ivy doesn’t do well with crate training, but she is all set for the day as long she has breakfast, a walk, and toys/bones she can chomp on. Ivy tends to gnaw lightly when she gets a lil anxious or over stimulated, but she has learned to correct and redirect to toys beautifully in her foster home and she also comes with a thundervest for when things get a little too scary!

Once Ivy decides you are her person/people, she will look at you with absolute adoration and want to be near whatever room in the house you’re in. Ivy isn’t overly clingy and enjoys her dog beds, but she does love to snuggle & very much appreciates being invited up on a couch or bed to cuddle together.

Ivy would love a home with a yard or an owner who will take her on a couple nice walks each day to get her sniffs out, rolling in the grass is one of her most treasured activities! A family that likes to hang out with their dog and receive lots of smiles, snuggles, and silliness in return is a perfect match for Ivy.

Meet Lenny.

Lenny is basically the canine version of John Goodman: pure New Orleans charm, a jolly presence that makes everyone smile, and a world-class snuggler. (Disclaimer: we have no intel on Mr. Goodman’s snuggling skills. That statement is 100% about Lenny.)

Back in April, this sweet baby was found tied to a flagpole outside a library. We held out hope that maybe he was just lost, but no one ever came forward. So, he officially joined the Zeus’ Rescues program and honestly, we couldn’t be happier he did.

At just 3 years old, Lenny is the perfect combo of knowing how to behave but still being young enough to play. He loves his walks, belly rubs, and chilling by your side like the loyal buddy he is.

If you’re looking for a handsome devil with heart, Lenny’s your guy. Apply today at www.zeusrescues.org Thanks! Michelle

Toffee (noun): a kind of firm or hard candy that softens over time; made by boiling together sugar and butter, often with other ingredients or flavorings added.

Striking markings aside, there has never been a more fitting name for a cat.

Toffee arrived at Zeus' Rescues as a feral kitten, after spending the first seven weeks of her life in the Burger King parking lot off Elysian Fields, uncertain of her next meal and wary of every human.

In foster care now, Toffee hasn't completely shed her feral nature - namely the occasional hide and instinctive hiss - but she has made remarkable progress in less than one week.

Once she recognizes your scent and touch, Toffee melts and wants all of the pets and ensuing tummy scratches. And don't worry - she isn't lulling you into a false sense of security by showing her belly. She genuinely loves tummy scratches. Lap time is another favorite for Toffee - and with a little coaxing and a Churu, she'll stay for an extended period.

Toffee is also learning how to be a playful kitten. Lately, I'll hear the ball spinner whirring faster by the day from the kitchen. She has developed a fondness for crinkle balls and is slowly warming up to springs. Feather wands and other toys are still a work in progress.

You won't have to worry about Toffee at meal time or her litter box habits. Toffee has a voracious appetite, adjusted well to a schedule, and quickly learned to use every available litter box.

Toffee has not been around other cats or dogs in a home setting, so that part of her personality is unknown. A patient pet owner will be rewarded in spades with Toffee's love.

Follow her foster on Instagram for more pictures and videos.

Meet Missy Smelliot. Missy came to us back in March 2023 as a wee pup in a litter of 8! She was adopted out as a cute puppy and returned 6 months later as a scared and untrained teenager. She has been with us ever since.

Missy has spent the last month in a foster home. They sent us these pics and write up:

"She is doing well and enjoying her stay. She has gotten along with all 4 of my dogs and 1 cat. She can play very rough at times and takes corrections from other dogs very well.

She loves the nylon bones and stuffed toys, even though they normally dont last long. She is not completely house broken and when 9ut in the house will have an accident if not let out every 2-3 hours. However, she can stay in her kennel with no accidents up to 10 hours. We are working on obedience training with her and she is getting better but still has some issues with taking things off the counter and trying to get in the trash, she does listen when told no or ahh ahh and stops.

She will accompany you anywhere you go and is mainly a velcro dog. She does not like to be outside without her person with her. She loves kittens but doesnt understand the size difference and tries to play with them like she would a dog but accepts corrections and eventually calms down.

She loves:
• laying on the couch playing with her toys
• getting belly rubs and cuddles
• going on walks and being outside
• treats of any kind and anywhere
• giving hugs
• following you
• playing with the other pups"

Please consider giving Missy the forever home that she deserves by filling out the online application at www.zeusrescues.org. Thanks! Michelle

Meet Hubig Pie. Hubig came to us in November of last year from our friends at Trap Dat Cat. This sweet little boy was trapped by TDC as a kitten during their massive efforts to reduce the cat overpopulation problem in the City.

Hubig appeared to be ready to live in a home and not on the streets, so he came into our program. Hubig was lucky enough to score an amazing foster home. They sent us these pics and write up!

"I don’t know which one is sweeter? Cat or pie? It’s a close call but the cat wins by a whisker. This young boy is mild mannered , gentle, curious and is a purr machine.

Hubig adapted within days to his new environment. His curiosity would bring him out from under the bed when he would hear you call his name. He absolutely adores being pet. It seems head scratches are the number one for this lil guy and he will sit up on 2 feet and reach up with his paws to guide you back! Butt scratches are another favorite but to my surprise his favorite scratches are belly rubs. I have never met a cat who after demanding belly rub DOESN’T end the session with violent bunny kicks and bites. Well this angel cat just rolls over and waits for more .

Introducing Hubig to the three dogs and cat in the home was as easy as … yep you guessed it pie.

If you’re looking for a young playful kitty who loves his toys, pets and who has the gentlest demeanor ( not once a love bite ) of any cat I have previously encountered. A soft spoken lil guy who lives in harmony with others big or small this boy might be for you."

Meet Boss—the only Boss you’ll actually *want* to work for!

This 3-year-old Boston Terrier may be small, but he runs a tight operation:

Daily cuddle quotas must be met.
Walk breaks are mandatory.
Loyalty and playtime are non-negotiable.
And yes…he fully supports “work from sofa” policies.

Boss is affectionate, loyal, and playful. He’s gentle with people, loves spending quality time with his humans, and already knows his basic commands (so you won’t have to micromanage him).

Right now, he’s stuck in a kennel, and honestly? The Boss deserves an office with a couch, a lap, and maybe a few squeaky toys.

Ready to make Boss your new CEO of Love & Snuggles? Apply today at www.zeusrescues.org. Thanks. Michelle

Meet DoodleBob.

This 1.5 year old Doodle? Poodle? Snoodle? came into our program as a stray. Efforts to find his owner have been unsuccessful and now he is now ready to start the next chapter of his life.

When he came to us, he was severely matted and covered in fleas. We suspect that he will have longer hair. It is hard to tell because he was in really rough shape and much love to the ZP groomers for cleaning him up!

DoodleBob is a joyous little boy and loves to romp around and play. At about 25 pounds, he will easily pass most landlord weight restrictions.

If you are interested in adopting DoodleBob, please complete the online application at www.zeusrescues.org. Thanks! Michelle

Introducing: The Chewbacca Terrier™ A rare, never-before-seen designer breed discovered right here at Zeus’ Rescues.

Meet Teddy—3 years old, scruffy in all the right ways, and guaranteed to make Wookiee noises when he yawns. (Okay, maybe not guaranteed, but it feels right.)

Teddy came to us a couple weeks ago from a local shelter and somehow hasn’t been snatched up yet.

Which is wild, because this pint-sized Chewie comes fully loaded:
Perfect portable size
Loves other dogs (a real pack animal)
Walks like a pro on a leash (no hyperdrive required)
Vaccinated, neutered, microchipped
Will honestly tell you if those jeans make you look more Han Solo or more Jabba the Hutt—always kindly, of course.

This is the companion you’re looking for.

Apply now at www.zeusrescues.org. Thanks! Michelle
