An unusual canine is on his way to his new home.
The Potter League for Animals announced Zeus, who is likely part wolf, has been adopted. His new owner, Ron, is from Vermont, one of the few local states that allow hybrid animals to be privately owned.
The Middletown, Rhode Island animal shelter shared a video on Facebook of Zeus departing the building with his new owner.
Potter League had previously stated they had confirmation from the previous owner and the breeder that Zeus “is in fact 1/3 wolf.”
The shelter first put out the call for qualified adopters on January 6.
“Zeus is about as fine a canine specimen as you could possibly imagine. He is wonderfully magical to watch as he walks. His movements are mesmerizing, and he looks like he just walked out of a scene from Twilight (yes, we just went there). He is incredibly affectionate and silly, and loves to be pet, snuggled, and loved on,” the animal organization posted on Facebook.
This is a developing story. Check back for updates as more information becomes available.
