About Zeke

Zeke is looking for a new home as a courtesy listing. This 9-year-old male Terrier loves being close to his people, but he does experience some separation anxiety. He likes to sleep in his dog bed next to you at night or in the office during the day. Zeke is smart and well-behaved in calm environments but barks when he sees other dogs. His enthusiasm can be overwhelming; he's not great with other dogs, so a home without them would be ideal. Zeke carries his favorite lambchop toy everywhere, showing his playful side. For inquiries about adopting Zeke, please reach out directly to his guardian at sue.dukeman@gmail.com or call 812-340-0417. ***Please contact the owner directly***.
