Notes from Oakland Animal Services
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.
