Oh — hi! Zeke here.
I'm sharp as a tack — give me a job and I'll make you look like a genius.
My notes say I'm a world-class cuddler, and I'd like that on the record.
I'm a youngster — a little goofy, very teachable, and absolutely ready to grow up beside someone wonderful.
I'm on the bigger side — which, if you ask me, is just more of me to hug.
I do come with a few special needs, but please don't let that scare you off — I just need a patient friend, and I pay it back tenfold.
Born and (almost) raised right here in Oakland.
Here's the thing — I can't tell if we'd truly click until I know a little about you. Sign in (it's free) and I'll size up your place, say hello to any dogs you've got — or be your very first — and give you my honest read on whether we'd be a match.
If all goes well, I could be curled up with my new pack by Thanksgiving — maybe yours, whether you adopt me or just help me get noticed.
Thanks for spending a minute with me. I'll be right here, tail ready, hoping it's you. — Zeke

About Zeke
Zeke – Sweet, Curious, and Affectionate Zeke is a Shepherd mix under 2 years old, weighing 60 pounds. This smart young guy enjoys exploring with his person, soaking up attention, and playing gently with canine friends. Leash Manners: Zeke pulls very mildly on leash and loves a good sniffari with his human, calmly investigating all the interesting scents along the way. Smart & Learning: Zeke may be a little bouncy when first excited to interact, but settles nicely and responds well to "sit" and "down." He's still practicing and learning patiently catching treats mid-air. Affectionate: Zeke enjoys slow rubs but absolutely loves neck scratches! He'll stretch his neck out to encourage you to keep the scratches coming. Playful & Social: Zeke enjoys gentle games of chase with other dogs in playgroup. He takes treats gently, though he may get a little enthusiastic and let you feel his teeth when he's excited. Zeke will do best with appropriately matched dogs or as a solo dog with well-matched canine friends.
