Zeus marks the second dog that Northcutt has saved from adverse conditions while on duty. Moved by the impact of Zeus’s story on the community, Northcutt intends to fund two pet adoptions at the South Bend Animal Resource Center. The investigation into the circumstances of Zeus’s predicament, including the use of the zip-tie, is ongoing by the police.

The South Bend Animal Resource Center (SBARC) has indicated that Zeus is expected to recover fully from his ordeal without any lasting physical harm and has been thriving in his new environment.
