About Zep

Meet Zep! This laid-back Boxer/Bulldog mix is around eight and a half years old and currently resides in Amherst, MA. Wrapped in a handsome dark brown brindle coat with white accents, Zep embodies a gentle spirit. At 65 pounds, he's a big, kindhearted boy who relishes the simple pleasures in life. He thrives on sunshine, soft grass to lounge on, and the occasional breeze to sniff. If you're looking for a companion who enjoys chilling outdoors, Zep will likely surprise you with his laid-back demeanor. Zep is friendly and welcomes everyone, including neighbors and delivery drivers. He enjoys gentle playtime with other dogs and is calm around cats, even if his experience with them is limited. Respectful kids fit perfectly into his circle of friends, too. When he's feeling playful, Zep loves rolling around in the grass and chasing balls or frisbees, often treating himself to refreshing water after a few rounds. He's happiest during short strolls where he can explore at his own pace. Zep does have some mobility limitations as well as urinary incontinence believed to be linked to a tick-borne condition. His recent X-rays show wear in his hips and back, which can make stairs challenging. Therefore, he enjoys easy walks and having a yard for bathroom breaks. It’s essential for his new family to be ready for occasional indoor accidents and to provide frequent outdoor access. A single-story home with a yard would perfectly suit his relaxed lifestyle. His new family can discuss options with a vet to help manage his incontinence. Zep is neutered, microchipped, and up to date on vaccinations. He knows some basic commands like sit, come, and stop. Long car rides aren't his strong suit and can upset his stomach. Zep is seeking a home where he can enjoy sunshine, companionship, and some extra patience. Could this sweet, porch-loving companion be your next family member? What are you waiting for? Apply today!
