About Zeke

Zeke is a big, goofy Black Mouth Cur with a playful streak and a heart that never runs out of love. His favorite thing is play—give him a squeaky ball or a stuffed toy and he’ll keep you laughing for hours. He makes games of fetch and tug-of-war into serious business, sometimes prancing around triumphantly with his latest prize. If you want a dog that gets along well with others, Zeke’s your guy; he’s done well with both male and female pups, though he definitely likes to charm the ladies. He thrives with company, whether human or canine, and genuinely enjoys being part of the action. With people, Zeke is gentle and affectionate. He’s a cuddler who isn’t shy about showering his people with big, slobbery kisses. While his size may be too much for toddlers, he’s had a good time with older kids who know how to play. House training is a breeze—he’s used to a dog door and prefers to do his business on AstroTurf. With no accidents in his foster cabin, he’s proven himself trustworthy indoors, though he’ll need some coaching if you don’t have a dog door. Car rides and outdoor adventures are right up Zeke’s alley. He loves trips to the park, rolling in the grass, and taking in new sights. As a working-breed dog, Zeke needs space to run and regular exercise to stay happy and healthy—mental stimulation and having a job to do help keep him at his best. If he doesn’t get his energy out, expect him to get restless. Zeke cannot handle being locked in a kennel due to past trauma during a tornado; he’ll rest in an open crate, but locked doors make him panic. His next family should feel comfortable managing this and be committed to his continued progress. Zeke is available for adoption in Conroe, TX, with health certificate and transport as the responsibility of the adopter. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
