with all the ZEAL, Zeus- TX young, male-ADOPTED!!

Currently being fostered in TX:  

Nice to meet you (shaking hands), my name is Zeus.  Yes, I know I am good looking, but you haven't seen nothin' yet!  If my pointy ear crop and sleek, Italian frame hasn't made you fall in love, my loving, loyal, fun, active personality will!  I am the coolest Corso ever..... really.... I hear it all the time.  I love car rides, people, and dogs.

Now, don't get me wrong, I am a Cane Corso and I am true to my guardian breed.  Once I bond to you, I will be your guardian.  That means, if I feel that you, or any member of my family or property is being threatened, I will warn that person/thing!

Let me tell you a little about me.  The picture below is of me, traveling from MO to TX.  Yup, I had a long ride here, but I do love TX.  I have been in a foster home for a few months now and I have several foster brothers and sisters.  I do get along with everyone.  Someone asked me the other day about cats.  Cats?  What are those?  Ask me about dogs.... I do love other dogs.  My foster mom tells me that I would do best in a home with other dogs. 

The story that the Rescue got about me is this (I will share no secrets).....A lady contacted a CCRvolunteer that worked at a vet clinic.  This woman supposedly just "ended up with me".  "My owner dropped me off to be babysat and never came back".  Again, that is what the rescue was told.  This lady tried to keep me happy but she worked so long and left me in a crate for up to 12hrs a day.  I am ok being in the crate, but for 12 hrs straight?!  Sorry, I wanted nothing of it.  I will admit, I did do some destructive things.  I ate some curtains; I moved my crate around; I ate the carpet.  But, come on..... how would you like to be in a crate for 12 hrs a day? Well, what happened next is that I was put on medication to sedate me while my caregiver worked crazy hours and left me, a puppy, at home. ( By the way, I am about 2yrs old)

When I got back to TX, my foster Dad told me "boy, we are going to work on your separation anxiety".  The first thing he did was take me off those nasty pills.  I was a new man!!  I felt better than ever.  I was getting exercise, I got to play with other dogs, life was so GOOD!!!  And yes, I am able to be crated and left.  Don't get me wrong, I don't love it, but with a few clips on the crate, I stay inside!  When my foster mom goes to work at night, I stay in my crate until she gets home in the AM.  I am such a good boy.

 I do know my basic commands.  I do pull on a leash, but again, I just need some work.  I am highly intelligent (I just learned that word ;-) ) and a quick learner.  Again, I only want to make my humans happy!

 As you can see in the pictures above and to the right....I love showing off my obedience moves for the camera.  And that final picture...... well, I had to have some fun!

If you think I would be a great match to your canine pack, fill out an application.  This hunk of a Corso won't be available long!
