Shepherd Dogs Available for Adoption in Wake Forest, North Carolina

Meet Zeke

*** AVAILABLE ON-SITE STARTING WEDNESDAY 4/15 ***
Zeke is a lovable, high-energy pup with a big personality and an even bigger heart. If you're looking for a playful companion who will keep you smiling (and moving!), Zeke might be your guy.

He's already mastered sleeping through the night-huge win!-and is making steady progress with his training. Zeke is currently working on potty training and learning basic commands like sit and stay. He's a smart boy who's starting to catch on, but he'll need a family willing to continue guiding him as he grows.

Zeke has some crate experience and does fairly well, though he may bark when other animals pass by-he's just curious and excited. On a leash, he's had limited exposure but has handled it pretty well so far.

When it comes to other pets, Zeke thrives around other dogs and loves to play. He's still learning boundaries, though, and can get a bit rough during playtime. Because of that, cats are a bit of a question mark-he tends to treat them like fellow playmates, which may not always go over well.

This sweet boy has a cuddly side too. In between bursts of zoomies, Zeke enjoys curling up in your lap for some affection. He absolutely loves a peanut butter-filled Kong and will happily settle down to enjoy his treat.

Zeke's energy level means he'll do best in a home with a yard where he can run and play-apartment living likely wouldn't suit him. With the right mix of exercise, structure, and love, Zeke has all the makings of an amazing lifelong companion.

If you're ready for a fun, affectionate, and energetic pup, Zeke is ready to meet you!
