YOU DID IT. AND WE CANNOT THANK YOU ENOUGH!

A few months ago, we were faced with the heartbreaking decision to close our community pet food bank after repeated thefts. But then something wonderful happened. YOU showed up.

You donated. You shared our posts. And an incredibly generous donor stepped forward with a matching gift, doubling the impact of your kindness.

BECAUSE OF YOU, WE HAVE A BRAND-NEW, SECURE FOOD BANK SHED!

We now have a safe, secure space to store the food and supplies that help keep pets fed and in their homes, where they belong.

To everyone who contributed, whether it was $5 or $500, and to our extraordinary matching donor, we are beyond grateful. You took a really lousy situation and turned it into something wonderful.

We still have one more step before we can reopen: FILL THOSE SHELVES!

Once we have enough food and supplies stocked, we'll open our food bank back up to the public and get back to doing what this program was created to do: helping our neighbors care for the animals they love.

Running an animal rescue isn't always easy. Some days are downright exhausting. But moments like this remind us why we keep going.

You didn't just help us build a shed. You helped us bring back a lifeline for pets and the people who love them.

Now, let's get those shelves filled and those bellies fed! MIchelle

MEET BIRDIE! Formerly known as Beth. Currently known as a work in progress with excellent potential.

Birdie's story started in December 2023 when someone decided our front yard was an appropriate place to dump a dog. (Spoiler alert: It is not.)

She was adopted but, through no fault of her own, returned in January 2025. She's been waiting for another chance ever since.

Thankfully, Birdie landed an amazing foster home, where we're finally seeing who she really is. Turns out, Birdie is a dog's dog.

Humans? Eh. We provide food, transportation, and opposable thumbs. But other dogs? THOSE ARE HER PEOPLE.

Birdie NEEDS another dog in her forever home. Without one, she shuts down. Add a canine companion and she's happy, playful, and confident. She's the girl who won't go to the party unless her best friend comes along.

Here's what we've learned:

She's smart! She knows commands, but her anxiety makes her brain run 47 tabs at once, and none are titled "Listen to the Human."

She LOVES walks! She's making HUGE progress, although lizards, bicycles, trash trucks, and the entire outside world still require her immediate attention. Leash manners are improving!

Completely housebroken! Yard or walk, she's got it covered.

Great in the car! Have car, will travel.

Quieter neighborhoods, please. Downtown is too much for a girl whose nervous system already has a full-time job.

A calm, adult home is best. We're still learning about children and cats, so we're being cautious.

Here's the thing about Birdie. She's not a bad dog. She's not a broken dog. She's a dog whose world has been turned upside down more than once, and she's still figuring out whether it's safe to relax.

But put her with another dog and we see the REAL Birdie. The silly, playful, happy girl. Thanks to her wonderful foster, we're seeing more of her every day.

Birdie doesn't need someone to fix her. She needs someone willing to understand her. Someone patient, kind, and already owned by a dog who can show her the ropes.

Let's find Birdie her person. And, more importantly, her dog.

Tomorrow is HALLOWEENIE AT Dat Dog!!!!!!!!!!!!!

One of my ABSOLUTE FAVORITE DAYS OF THE YEAR is almost here! Halloweenie at Dat Dog! Dogs in costumes, celebrity judges, fabulous prizes, and an excellent excuse to spend the afternoon surrounded by ridiculousness. AND it benefits Zeus' Rescues! What's not to love?

SATURDAY, OCTOBER 24
3–5 PM
Dat Dog – 3336 Magazine Street
THE Dog Costume Contest of the Season!

Find out more details at https://ow.ly/s7L45100H6A

And this year, I will more than likely be sporting the hottest accessory of the season: a 5-pound, approximately 108-year-old Chihuahua named China, strapped to my chest in a BabyBjörn.

I need a little more of this old lady in my life before she gets a home, and apparently, she needs a personal chauffeur.

I did have to promise to get her home in time for Jeopardy!, though. She's elderly, she's got a schedule, and she does NOT appreciate disruptions to her evening routine.

So get those costumes ready, bring your dogs, and come support Zeus' Rescues at one of the most ridiculously fun events of the year!

And if you see me wearing a Chihuahua like a newborn, don't judge She guilted me into it. Michelle

BREAKING NEWS: LOCAL FOSSIL FOUND ALIVE AND WAGGING.

Meet China, a 5-pound antique with four legs, two satellite dishes for ears, and a tongue that has apparently been permanently evicted from her mouth.

According to her previous records, China was born in 2018. After meeting her, we strongly suspect that was a typo and they meant 1918.

We are currently awaiting confirmation from the Smithsonian.

China weighs a whopping 5 pounds soaking wet, although we're fairly certain at least two of those pounds are ears.

She's the perfect companion for anyone who enjoys old lady activities. Watching The Price Is Right. Judging the neighbors. Sitting on the porch discussing how nobody wants to work anymore. Going to bed at 6:30 because she's had a very long day of doing absolutely nothing.

Her tongue? Permanently deployed. We don't know why. We don't ask questions. At her age, she's earned the right to let it all hang out.

Her tail, however, is still fully operational! It wags! She gets excited! There's still some life left in this prehistoric little chicken nugget.

China isn't looking for adventure. She's already lived through the Great Depression, several world wars, and possibly the invention of electricity. She's looking for a comfortable lap, a soft bed, and someone who understands that the thermostat stays at 74 and we're not heating the whole neighborhood.

She's basically your great-grandmother reincarnated as a slightly disheveled Yorkie with a permanent raspberry.

And we absolutely adore her.

Come meet China at Zeus' Rescues, 4601 Freret Street, and give this tiny national treasure the retirement home she deserves. Please adopt her before she starts telling us about how bread used to cost a nickel. Apply at www.zeusrescues.org. Thanks! Michelle

Bruno turned 3 today, and for his Birthday he wished for a furever family!

Bruno is a 3 year old terrier mix, possibly part Basenji, part fox. He’s a goofy, fun loving boy who gets along with just about everyone: humans big and small and every dog he’s met so far! He’s energetic as one of his favorite hobbies is chasing lizards in the yard, but his even more favorite hobby is snuggling with the hoomans!

He just loves to love and be close to you. He’s a perfect shmedium and thinks he can even be a perfect scarf with his paws around your neck.

He does well pottying outside when kept on schedule, walks well with a leash, and is highly food motivated and smart which is great for training!

He’s up to date on all his shots, neutered, and heartworm negative. Just ready for you!

You can see more pictures and videos on his Foster’s Instagram

Apply to adopt at zeusrescues.org. Thanks! Michelle

MEET MARASCHINO: A LITTLE CHERRY WITH BIG DEER ENERGY.

Continuing with what has apparently become Old Lady Week at Zeus’ Rescues, we present Maraschino.

Maraschino is a 5-year-old Chihuahua/baby deer mix. And before anyone starts questioning our breed identification, LOOK AT HER. That is clearly a woodland creature who wandered out of a Disney movie, got lost on Freret Street, and is now demanding to be held.

She has two enormous satellite dishes for ears, the body of a slightly overfed woodland fairy, and a face that suggests she knows exactly what you did last summer.

And yes, she has cherry eyes. Hence the name Maraschino. Don't judge us. It's been a long week, we're running on caffeine and questionable decisions, and frankly, we're just proud we didn't name her Eyeballs McGee.

Maraschino's résumé:
5 years old, which apparently qualifies her for our senior citizen convention this week.

Under 10 pounds of concentrated adorable.

Heartworm negative!

Scheduled to have her baby-making equipment permanently decommissioned next week. The factory is closing. No severance packages.

Approximately 37% Chihuahua, 63% baby deer, and 100% convinced she belongs in your arms.

Gives the BEST hugs. Seriously. This tiny creature wraps herself around you like she's been waiting her whole life for someone to pick her up and tell her she's pretty.

We're not entirely sure whether Maraschino needs an adopter or a wildlife rehabilitation permit, but we do know she deserves a home where she can be loved, spoiled, and carried around like the precious little forest princess she clearly believes herself to be.

Come meet Maraschino at Zeus' Rescues, 4601 Freret Street or apply online at www.zeusrescues.org.

And please adopt her before we run out of fruit names and start calling the next Chihuahua Cocktail Onion. Thanks! Michelle

N**E SENIOR CITIZEN SEEKS RETIREMENT HOME. CLOTHING OPTIONAL.

Meet Tilly. Tilly is a 7-year-old Shih Tzu who was recently found wandering the streets, presumably after escaping a retirement community where management had the AUDACITY to enforce a dress code.

When Tilly arrived at Zeus' Rescues, she was covered in mats. Not a few tangles. We're talking seven years of questionable hair decisions rolled into one giant felted sweater. Her makeover required anesthesia because there was simply no negotiating with that situation.

And underneath all that hair?

A naked little baked potato with eyeballs.

Tilly is currently rocking what we call the "freshly plucked rotisserie chicken" look, and frankly, she's never felt more liberated.

She has dry eye and a skin infection, both of which we're treating. Her skin needs some TLC, but her personality? Absolutely delightful.

We've decided Tilly is a retired widow who spends her afternoons crocheting in the n**e, sipping Earl Grey, and watching Murder, She Wrote with the volume at 87.

She owns 14 decorative pillows, calls everyone "sugar," and has VERY strong opinions about the price of eggs.

She doesn't need a man. She doesn't need pants. She just needs someone to refill her teacup and occasionally tell her she's beautiful.

And she IS beautiful. In a slightly haunted Victorian doll kind of way.

Despite everything she's been through, Tilly is a sweet little lady who deserves a soft bed, a loving home, and the freedom to live out her golden years as the naked, tea-drinking, yarn-hoarding queen she was always meant to be.

Come meet Tilly at Zeus' Rescues, 4601 Freret Street, New Orleans.

Apply at zeusrescues.org Thanks. Michelle

P.S. Please don't actually give her tea. She's already got enough going on.

MEET OOPSY: 4 MONTHS OLD. ZERO REMORSE.

Part-time houseplant assassin. Full-time ankle terrorist. Currently accepting applications for a human servant.

Why Oopsy? Glad you asked. We agreed to take in this adorable little kitten because we had an empty kennel. Easy peasy, right. OOPS. RINGWORM.

Instead of moving into Zeus’ Rescues, this tiny fungal fugitive was immediately shipped off to my house for quarantine. For an entire month, Oopsy lived in my guest bathroom, receiving medication, room service, and absolutely no rent invoices.

Once he was cleared to mingle, I released him into the general population of my house, where my resident asscats gave him a crash course in Catting 101. Unfortunately, they taught him EVERYTHING.

How to ambush unsuspecting ankles
How to turn houseplants into crime scenes
How to launch surprise attacks from under furniture
How to look innocent while actively committing felonies
How to establish complete household dominance despite weighing approximately three pounds

Oopsy graduated with honors. We are not proud.

Now officially ringworm-free, done with his meds, and back at Zeus’ Rescues, Oopsy is ready to take his criminal enterprise to a permanent location.

He loves cats, dogs, and humans of all sizes. He does NOT respect personal space, plant ownership, or your right to walk through your own home without being assaulted.

Oopsy is looking for a forever home with a sense of humor, a high tolerance for nonsense, and preferably some cheap houseplants.

Adopt Oopsy. Because every home needs a tiny, adorable menace with a criminal record. Apply at zeusrescues.org. Thanks! Michelle
