Zeus was allotted the dominion of the sky after having waged war against Cronos and the TITANS. Zeus surpasses all others in spirit, wisdom and justice. He prevails upon good men by persuasion, intimidating the evil by punishment. Zeus, some say, caused the Trojan War, so that the load of death might empty the world. Zeus got the thunderbolt, his ultimate weapon, from the CYCLOPES, and an eagle brings back the thunderbolts which Zeus has flung.

 Zeus was turned into rescue because he had been left outside tied to a chain when his owner moved. He had been outside for two weeks when we got the call. I asked one of our volunteers down south if she would go check on him Monday night and help transport him to Gail and I on Wednesday. Janet not only checked on him, she couldn't bear to leave him and took him home to her family that night. Zeus stayed with Janet and her family for two nights and then she brought him to us on Wednesday.

We discovered 3 lumps on Zeus and got him down to our vet on Thursday. Zeus is a very sweet boy and the vet prodded, stuck and made him suffer other dignities, all without a whimper. Anyway...one of the lumps is a fatty tumor and not a problem. The other two are sebaceous cysts, which aren't a big deal either but we are going to have them removed on the vets recommendation. Okay...here it comes.
HELP. It would be really nice if someone could sponsor Zeus and pay for his surgery. It's only going to cost $115.00. The problem is that our Woody Fund has almost run dry due to all the older and sick dogs that GRRMF has taken in. As far as I'm concerned, the Woody Fund is what sets GRRMF apart from most other rescues. We do our best to treat any dog that comes into the program regardless of age or cost. If you can't foster a donation would be a nice way of helping out all these older dogs. Help us, help these guys who are here through no fault of their own. Thank you.
