About Zeke

Meet Zeke: From Heartbreak to Hope

Age: 1.5-2 Years Weight: 50 lbs Breed Mix: Rottweiler Mix Compatibility: Great with other dogs, loves people

Zeke's Story Zeke's past includes a chapter of heartbreaking cruelty he was found alone in a park, scared, and suffering from a gunshot wound. But that is not how his story ends. Thanks to a team of people who chose kindness, Zeke was rushed straight to the vet. After a thorough assessment, the veterinary team determined that it was actually safer to leave the bullet exactly where it is. He has spent the last few months healing beautifully, and today, he is completely healthy, thriving, and ready for his fresh start.

The most amazing part about Zeke? He didn't let the past break his spirit. Through it all, he never stopped wagging his tail.

Personality & Needs Don't let that handsome, tough "Rottie" look fool you, this 50-pound boy is a total marshmallow. Zeke is a gentle, affectionate softie who is unmistakably grateful for every ounce of love he receives.

With People: He is confident, deeply loyal, and eager to find a family he can trust completely. He loves being close to his humans and has a heart of pure gold.

With Other Dogs: Zeke is incredibly polite. He is quiet and submissive around other pups, making him a wonderful companion if you already have a dog at home.

His Specific Needs: Because Zeke has only known cruelty prior to his rescue, he does scare easily. He needs a dedicated, patient family who won't quit on him if he needs additional training, time, and emotional support to adjust to the world.

Zeke truly deserves a forever home that sees past his scars and appreciates the absolute gem of a dog he is. He's spent enough time fighting to survive; now, he just wants a committed family where he can feel safe, protected, and loved.
