Meet Zeke, a handsome 3-year-old American Akita with a heart of gold, just waiting for the right person to earn his trust. Zeke is a dog who appreciates a slow and steady approach. He's not one for instant affection or belly rubs, but he's incredibly food-motivated! Earning his trust is a journey, and with patience, consistent feeding, daily walks, and respect for his space, you'll soon find yourself with a devoted and protective companion.
Zeke and his friend Zoey were unfortunately discarded by backyard breeders and found themselves in a high-kill shelter in North Carolina. We believe in Zeke's potential to be an amazing family member for the right adopter.
