Seven-month-old Zeke has been growing up in his foster home, eagerly awaiting a family to call his own. This energetic pup arrived at the shelter as a stray, and despite his sweet nature, no one came to claim him. But that hasn’t dampened his spirit—Zeke has been having a blast playing and learning alongside his canine foster siblings.
Zeke would thrive in a home with another dog or a family committed to keeping him socialized. Due to his playful, sometimes mouthy nature, he would do best in a household with children aged 8 and up. He’s already house and crate trained, travels well in the car, and is ready to bring joy to his new family.
If you’re looking for a loyal and fun-loving companion, Zeke might be the perfect fit! To learn more or to set up a meet-and-greet, email [email protected].
Zeke is available for adoption through Spotsylvania County Animal Shelter. Visit their website for more details: Spotsylvania County Animal Shelter.
