More about Zeus
Meet Zeus, a handsome and affectionate 2-year-old German Shepherd crossbreed with a big personality and plenty of enthusiasm for life!
Zeus is a friendly, playful boy who loves spending time with people, enjoying fuss and showing off his favourite toys. He particularly enjoys exploring on walks, following interesting scents and having opportunities to play. He has also shown that he can enjoy the company of other dogs, although his excitement can sometimes get the better of him, so he will benefit from continued guidance with his social skills.
Zeus has found kennel life challenging and can become quite vocal, particularly when seeking company. Encouragingly, he has appeared more relaxed when enjoying walks away from the kennel environment. He is looking for an active, understanding home where his new family can provide consistency, companionship and plenty of opportunities to learn.
As an active, excitable dog with German Shepherd traits, Zeus will need owners with experience of energetic dogs, or who have thoroughly researched their needs and are prepared for the commitment involved. His new family should be confident managing his strength, supporting his ongoing training and helping him develop calmer behaviours.
At this stage, we feel Zeus still needs to learn some social etiquette before living with another dog, although this could be discussed on a case-by-case basis. He may be suitable for a family with confident teenagers aged 13 and above. He would benefit from access to a secure garden and owners who can initially spend time helping him settle, gradually building his confidence with being left alone.
With patience, positive training and the right environment, Zeus has the potential to become a wonderfully fun and affectionate companion.
If you have already completed our online rehoming form and would like to know more about Zeus, you can e-mail our rehoming team on rehoming@battersea.org.uk to register your interest.
We ask every customer to first complete our online form before we discuss an individual dog, so if you have not filled in our form yet you can find the details on how to do so here https://www.battersea.org.uk/rehome/dogs
Please be aware that we have a large amount of interest in rehoming our animals, so we are only able to contact those that are a match for the dog in question.
Rehoming FAQs
Here at Battersea, we assess all of our dogs individually and create a rehoming profile for them. To ensure successful matches between people and pets, we use a combination of extensive rehoming experience, our staff expertise and the information you provided in your rehoming form. Once you complete your online registration, you’ll receive a confirmation email to let you know that we have everything we need to begin our matchmaking process, as well as the next steps of the process.
This may not always be the dog you thought it would be, which is why we ask that you see the registration form as a way of registering your interest in rehoming, not an application for a specific animal. We’re experts in making sure we find the right home for our dogs and the right dog for your home.

Once you’ve completed our online registration form, we’ll handle the rest. Your rehoming registration will be open for up to three months, and in that time, we’ll do our very best to try and match you with a pet that best suits you and your lifestyle. It can take a bit of time for us to try and match you with a pet – but we promise it’s time well spent. We’re committed to getting to know every animal at our centres before finding a match that works for our dogs and for you wherever possible.
If we are not able to match you with a dog within three months, we’ll let you know and offer guidance to help you continue your search, either at Battersea or beyond.

Our rehoming fee is £230 for dogs (over six months), £350 for a pair of dogs, or £275 for puppies (under six months). We accept cash or debit/credit card as payment (we are unable to accept cheques). Included in this cost are the following:
- Microchipping
- Initial vaccinations, flea and worming treatment
- Neutering
- A collar, identification tag and lead
- Starter pack of food, advice and special offers
- Four weeks’ free Petplan insurance as your dog settles into their new surroundings
Something to bear in mind is that our rehoming fee is just the beginning of the costs involved with owning a dog. We would recommend that before making the decision to rehome, you investigate the costs of pet food, pet insurance, grooming and fees at your local veterinary centre so that you are fully prepared for the financial implications of bringing a dog into your home.
