We’re turning the next 30 days into a forever-home festival.

All dogs over 40 pounds and any dog or cat who’s been in our program for a year or more can be yours for just $50 through October 20th!

That’s less than a festival wristband—and guaranteed to bring you more joy.

Every pet is spayed/neutered, fully vetted, microchipped, dewormed, and heartworm negative.
Browse our adoptables and send in your application at www.zeusrescues.org.

Let’s get these pets the homes they’ve been waiting for. Thanks! Michelle

Looking for a tiny house panther? A snuggle-sized tiger? Or maybe just a purring little loaf of love?

Our rescue is overflowing with whiskers, toe beans, and the sweetest squeaks you’ve ever heard. These babies are ready to trade in their kennels for windowsills, laps, and Netflix binges with YOU.

Adopting a kitten means:
Instant entertainment (zoomies are free!)
Unlimited cuddles on demand
A best friend who thinks 3am is the perfect time for a party

Head to www.zeusrescues.org to meet your new fur baby. Because honestly… your couch is way too boring without a kitten on it. We have all the colors under the kitten rainbow to choose from! Thanks. Michelle

Meet Mr. Dandy.

This handsome year old ginger/white baby made his way to our program back in March. He was a stray found at a gas station in Lafayette. We got him fixed up and he was lucky enough to score a foster home. They recently sent us these pics and write up:

"Mr. Dandy is the sweetest little boy on the block!

He loves people and will happily follow you around the house with a curious "meow?" or lay by you on the couch so he can always see what you're up to.

When he's not busy being the best lap cat, he loves to show off his acrobatic skills, chasing around anything on a string and stick. In classic cat fashion, he's not opposed to a good cardboard box as well.

For anyone looking for the perfect combination of playtime and purring, Mr. Dandy is your man!"

If you would like to add this sweet boy to your home, please complete the online application at www.zeusrescues.org. Thanks! Michelle

Meet Luscia.

Luscia is an old soul who is the chillest and most loyal friend you’ll ever have. She loves laying around, going for walks, choosing comfy napping spots, yoga, and going on adventures. She is so quiet except when she feels the need to protect her humans.

She doesn’t have strong opinions about food, toys, or beds, which makes her extremely easy to take care of. She is potty trained (has never had a single accident) and crate trained. She sleeps in a dog bed, her crate, or just a spot on the floor near her human’s bed.

She knows basic commands and walks well on a leash. She doesn’t pull and loves a good walk.

She is sometimes good with other dogs, people, and cats, however, she can also feel the need to be protective around them as well.

She has a beautiful brindle coat and barely sheds if you give her a quick brush in the morning. She also loves being brushed and pampered. Please adopt this sweet, low maintenance gal!

Meet Zenos. He’s become one of my absolute favorite rescues. I’ve brought him to a couple of adoption events, but he often gets overlooked because he’s a little shy at first. Don’t let that fool you, once he warms up, he’s the bestest boy! He loves to snuggle and looks at you with absolute love when he feels safe with you. He is just looking for a human to call his own.

Zenos really hit the jackpot with an amazing foster home, and they’ve sent us these adorable pics along with this sweet write-up:

A sweet, clever little boy who loves to hang and play with his dog buds. Zenos can be shy at first. It might take him a minute to get used to walks, strangers, children, cats, cars: loud noises and sudden movements might make him skittish. But rest assured that once he warms up, you can’t stop him from eagerly requesting a belly rub or jumping for joy to go on a walk. His excited jigs can even make it tricky to get on his harness.

When it’s time to slow down, this squirmy couch potato also adores snuggling in his self-designated favorite spot on the sofa, especially when it’s with his favorite people. He will be in-between, behind, underneath - in all the tightest spots closest to you.

Don’t underestimate this tiny bolt of lightning (who is scared of that too - we’re working on it)!

If you are interested in this little guy who is old enough to know better, but still young enough to have lots of life left to live, please complete the online application at www.zeusrescues.org. Thanks! Michelle

Years ago, there was a debate: Team Edward or Team Jacob.

Why couldn't they all get along and agree to be Team Twilight?

Well, their loss is your gain. Meet Twilight!

Twilight is a dapper young gentleman with the tux to prove it.

He came to Zeus' Rescues after being trapped along with several of his colonymates in the Burger King parking lot off Elysian Fields. One of his friends Toffee was adopted this past weekend! Both Toffee and Twilight were feral and undersocialized, so they went one at a time into a foster home to learn how to be kittens and then blossom into regular house cats.

Twilight has improved leaps and bounds in just several days.

He has the softest fur and wants you to pet it as much as possible. Once you do so, he'll roll over onto his stomach for tummy scratches and soon after, the motor will start. Twilight has such a soothing purr that makes you not want to stop petting him until he gets his fill.

Twilight is happy on your lap or will hang right next to you, especially if you give him a mouse toy. He'll go at that thing for hours. Twilight also likes being held and will remain calm while being transported around the house - most likely to the couch to sit on your lap.

He is learning how to be more playful by the day and has quickly learned the nuances of ball spinners and crinkle balls. Feather wands and springs aren't too far behind.

It is unknown how Twilight would do around other pets, but given the right circumstance, he'll thrive. He has such a laid-back personality that will gel with any situation.

Be sure to follow his foster for more photos and videos.

Meet Ivy.

Have you ever seen a dog go bananas for bananas? If not, you’ve clearly never met Ivy a meatball who loves to snuggle, play doggy brain teaser treat puzzles, and to give the saddest/most sincere puppy eyes while begging for dog-safe fruits & vegetables. She gets along great with cats & loves kids of all ages, but she seems to like other dogs on a case by case basis.

Despite her rough start being kept malnourished in a cage for the first few years of her life & never having a chance to learn how to be a dog, Ivy is a mix of total sweetheart and smiley goofball. She has grown in leaps and bounds since being taken into rescue and becoming a foster dog and is now healthy, happy, heartworm free, and loving life as a couch potato!

Ivy is very trainable with treats and positive reinforcement, so far she has learned sit, down, kiss, and stay! Plus she is beginning to learn shake, over (jump), & spin. Because of her past being locked in a crate, Ivy doesn’t do well with crate training, but she is all set for the day as long she has breakfast, a walk, and toys/bones she can chomp on. Ivy tends to gnaw lightly when she gets a lil anxious or over stimulated, but she has learned to correct and redirect to toys beautifully in her foster home and she also comes with a thundervest for when things get a little too scary!

Once Ivy decides you are her person/people, she will look at you with absolute adoration and want to be near whatever room in the house you’re in. Ivy isn’t overly clingy and enjoys her dog beds, but she does love to snuggle & very much appreciates being invited up on a couch or bed to cuddle together.

Ivy would love a home with a yard or an owner who will take her on a couple nice walks each day to get her sniffs out, rolling in the grass is one of her most treasured activities! A family that likes to hang out with their dog and receive lots of smiles, snuggles, and silliness in return is a perfect match for Ivy.

Meet Lenny.

Lenny is basically the canine version of John Goodman: pure New Orleans charm, a jolly presence that makes everyone smile, and a world-class snuggler. (Disclaimer: we have no intel on Mr. Goodman’s snuggling skills. That statement is 100% about Lenny.)

Back in April, this sweet baby was found tied to a flagpole outside a library. We held out hope that maybe he was just lost, but no one ever came forward. So, he officially joined the Zeus’ Rescues program and honestly, we couldn’t be happier he did.

At just 3 years old, Lenny is the perfect combo of knowing how to behave but still being young enough to play. He loves his walks, belly rubs, and chilling by your side like the loyal buddy he is.

If you’re looking for a handsome devil with heart, Lenny’s your guy. Apply today at www.zeusrescues.org Thanks! Michelle
