About Zep

Meet Zep! This laid-back Boxer/Bulldog mix is around eight years old and is currently in Amherst, MA. He has a gentle spirit and a handsome dark brown brindle coat with white accents. Weighing in at 65 pounds, Zep is all about enjoying life’s simple pleasures. He loves basking in the sun, rolling on soft grass, and taking leisurely naps. You might even think he’s part lizard, given how much he enjoys lounging outside! Zep is extremely friendly, greeting everyone with open paws—people, neighbors, and even delivery drivers. He gets along well with other dogs and enjoys gentle play. His interaction with cats is limited, but he hasn't shown any interest in chasing them. Calm, respectful children are also welcome around him. When he feels playful, Zep delights in chasing balls or Frisbees before pausing for a refreshing drink. His preferred outings include short strolls to sniff around at his own pace. Zep does have some mobility challenges and urinary incontinence, likely related to Ehrlichiosis, a tick-borne disease. With significant wear in his hips and back, he prefers short walks and easy access to a yard for bathroom breaks. His new family should be ready for occasional indoor accidents and frequent outdoor trips. A single-story home with a yard would be ideal for Zep’s relaxed lifestyle, and options for managing his incontinence can be discussed with a vet. Zep is neutered, microchipped, and vaccinated. He knows basic commands like sit and come, and while long car rides may upset his stomach, he’s comfortable being alone for a while. Zep is looking for companionship and a stress-free environment. Could he be the porch-loving buddy you’re searching for? Click apply to start the adoption process.
