Come by the shelter to meet Zeus and celebrate his birthday! He’s a very special guy and we’d love to see him find a family!

🎈 Happening TODAY! 🎈 Come celebrate Friends of Grass Valley Animal Control Shelter's longest resident, Zeus, as he turns 4 years old! When Zeus gets adopted, his new family will get to take home this gift back of all his favorite things!

Today at the shelter, we will have games, cookies, plus Zeus and his doggy friends will get to enjoy a birthday cake from the amazing Scraps Dog Bakery! We have a couple more surprises in store, so we hope to see you today from 12-4 at the Grass Valley Animal Shelter, 556 Freeman Ln!
