About Zeke

Meet Zeke, a handsome German Shepherd who's ready for adoption! At about 1.5 years old and weighing 65 lbs, he's the perfect companion for anyone seeking an intelligent and active dog. Zeke is in great health and fully vetted, making him a fantastic addition to a loving family who understands the breed. When Zeke first arrived at the shelter as a full-grown puppy, he lacked training and was quite excitable. Thanks to dedicated fostering, he's blossomed into a well-mannered dog. Zeke is now fully crate trained, potty trained, and knows commands like sit, down, wait, and come. He enjoys walks but may pull when he gets excited, so ongoing leash training will help him settle. Zeke thrives around dogs he knows well and loves to play with them, but he isn't a good fit for homes with cats due to his prey drive. His energetic nature makes him a poor match for families with small children, who might get knocked over by his exuberant greetings. Neutered, microchipped, and up to date on vaccinations, Zeke is ready for someone to give him the structure and love he craves. If you're looking for a loyal companion, Zeke may just be your perfect match. Click apply to start the adoption process.
