The loveable four-year-old Staffie cross, had been at the RSPCA’s Leeds and Wakefield branch, in East Ardsley, since November 2022 and was one of the RSPCA’s longest-staying dogs in the North of England.
During his time at the centre, Zeus was described by staff and volunteers as a sweetheart who had so much love to give.

The pup was subject to numerous appeals to help him find him forever family to no avail – until recently.
After 533 days, the centre confirmed that their longest staying resident had finally been adopted.
RSPCA Leeds and Wakefield Animal Care Manager, Megan Rattray, said: “We’re extremely happy that a family have given Zeus a second chance even with his behavioural challenges. He’s a very sweet dog and he deserves it!”
