URGENT - Zeus, 8yr old Ambull needs adoption or foster asap

Apologies for posting Zeus here when he's not a staffie, but this guy is really not coping with kennels. Apologies also for the scant information, I'll post more when I have it.





Zeus is about 8 years old and, from what I can see, looks in fairly good physical condition. With people he's lovely but not really connected at the moment because he's so stressed. I'm not sure what dog testing's been done so far but when I walked him from the wash room where he's living (it's easier for him than a kennel) he was quiet and not particularly strong on the lead.

All he does is walk round and round. Even in the swan pen where I took the photos, he just walked round and round it. He briefly comes to say hello, and did go into the water to cool off, then just back to those endless circles. He doesn't want a cuddle, he doesn't want to play, he doesn't want to snuffle, just round and round.

We're having a big push to try and get this guy out as soon as possible, so if you could spread the word that would be fantastic. A foster home would need to be within reasonable distance of the centre so that he can come back if someone wants to meet him, or for things like vet checks.

Aww bless him hope u get ur forever home soon

Zeus' updated ad...

Zeus is not coping with kennel life. He circles endlessly. Due to this, he is living in the washroom which is bigger and quieter, and also spends most of the daytime in one of the runs. Even this is very stressful for him.

We are looking to find either an adoptive or foster home for Zeus URGENTLY. A foster home should be within reasonable distance of the centre (Wethersfield, Essex CM7 4EQ). All expenses are paid for animals in foster.

Zeus has a lifelong habit of circling when stressed so we are looking for a calm home without young children or too much change. He would benefit from someone being at home most of the time. His history states that he has been left for extended periods of time and been fine, but it is probably that circled the whole time.

He is good with dogs and has lived with a female one, and he is good to walk on the lead.

Hope he gets something

Have shared him on FB Liz poor boy,he is a stunner will share him again tomorrow xx

Bless you, Inez.

I'd love him, but we're near manchester which i think is a bit far, i hope he finds his forever home x

Zeus isn't doing very well. He's dropping weight and it would appear there's something with his kidneys - blood in his urine and he's drinking an amazing amount. The vet saw him yesterday and has prescribed something as a trial but he's not responded so further investigations are planned for tomorrow. Poor lad. I sat with him for 15 minutes today and he did stop circling for a while while he had a rub, but then started crying. It's heartbreaking.

Oh Liz, poor boy I so wish I could do something xxx

Well it's taken a lot longer that we'd hoped but Zeus has got a reserve. Fingers crossed is an understatement.

Fantastic news!

If any dog deserves a loving home it's the beautiful Zeus... fingers crossed
