🌟 Meet Zeke — Your Future Adventure Buddy! Age: 1 year, 6 months Birthday: May 2024 (Did you know that May babies often have a charming and vibrant personality? Those Gemini stars are shining brightly!) Sex: Male Weight: About 40 lbs Breed Mix: Likely Doberman / Rottweiler / Shepherd / Hound mix Location: New York State ❤️ **About Zeke** Oh, Zeke! This delightful young dog is bursting with affection and enthusiasm. Imagine a friend who’s always ready for an escapade or a cozy cuddle — that’s Zeke! At around 40 pounds, he’s the perfect size for both adventures in the great outdoors and lazy movie nights on the couch. You might find him snuggling deep under blankets, trying to sneak into your bed, or showing off his goofy puppy antics. You can’t help but smile when you meet him! 🧠 **Training & Good Habits** Zeke is not just a pretty face; he’s smart and eager to learn, too! - Fully house trained ✔️ - Crate trained 🏡 - Knows how to sit and wait — especially for meal time, which he considers a grand event! 🍽️ - Responds to an “OK” release cue with a show of enthusiasm. - Food-motivated, which means training sessions are met with joy and wagging tails! 🐾 - Loves tough toys and enrichment activities; he thrives on challenges! - Great with kids and other dogs, making him the ultimate family friend! 👨‍👩‍👦‍👦 🐾 **Personality** Sweet, cuddly, and people-oriented — Zeke embodies everything we love about our furry pals! He’s playful, energetic, and very observant. Zeke enjoys routine and structure, relishing his role as a core member of the family. He's not just a dog; he’s a vibrant part of your life! ❤️ ⚠️ **Things to Know (Honest & Important)** Zeke is still young and learning, which means he thrives with someone who can continue guiding him. He may jump with excitement when he greets you, and is still figuring out his relations with cats (he’s not aggressive, just ready to play!). His chew power is formidable, so only the toughest toys will stand a chance against him! 💪 🏡 **Ideal Home** To truly thrive, Zeke would love to find a home that includes: - A family with older children, due to his enthusiastic greetings (jumping is his love language!). - A fenced yard or a safe space to run wild! 🏃‍♂️ - Someone who enjoys training, playtime, and daily exercise to keep up with his energetic spirit. - A family that appreciates a cuddly companion who will happily join the family adventures! Zeke is a wonderful boy, but his exuberance has been a bit much for the current family situation. He’ll act as an eager watchdog and let you know what’s happening around him, but he’s always looking for cuddles too! If Zeke sounds like the kind of boy who could light up your life, then it's time to apply for him through the Buddy App! 📲 Come meet this charming companion!
