A man named Rocky visits the San Gabriel Valley Humane Society in California and meets a 2-year-old pitbull named Zeus. Zeus has been in the shelter for five months, likely due to stereotypes against pitbulls. Rocky decides to take action and, with the help of volunteers and sponsorships, sets up a giant pet store tent for Zeus and other animals at the shelter. The animals get to go "shopping" and pick out toys, treats, and other items, with the remaining products being donated to the shelter. The event aims to show that pitbulls are loving and friendly, and to help find Zeus a forever home.
