Adopt A Senior Pet Month

In a recent petfinder.com survey, their shelter and rescue group members reported that older pets have the hardest time finding homes. Itโ€™s a sad reality that these great animals are often the last to be adopted from shelters. However, November is Adopt-a-Senior-Pet...

๐Ÿพ Meet Zeke โ€“ Your New Little Shadow! ๐Ÿ’™

At 14 years young and 19 lbs, Zeke is a distinguished gentleman with a whole lot of love (and a few adorable quirks) to share! This sweet, loyal boy loves leisurely walks, soft beds, tasty treats, grass rolling, squirrel watching, and spending time with his favorite person.

Zeke is a true companion who loves being nearby and will follow his favorite human around the house. Expect happy hops, little piglet grunts, gentle kisses, and plenty of tail wags when you come home! He's not much of a lap dog, but give him a cozy bed in the same room and he'll happily be your devoted shadow.

He's a polite houseguest who rides well in the car, sleeps through the night, and gets along with cats, calm dogs, and older children. Zeke would love a quiet home with someone who's around most of the time, as he gets anxious when left alone. A fenced yard for leisurely grass strolls would be a wonderful bonus!

Zeke does have a few senior medical needs, including Cushing's disease, but he's a good sport about taking his daily medications.

His foster describes him as one of the gentlest dogs you'll ever meet. If you're looking for a sweet, easygoing companion with a little personality and lots of love to give, Zeke might just be your guy! ๐Ÿ’™

๐Ÿ“ Fostered in Stoney Beach, MD
