Zeke, the Dog of the Day
Name: Zeke
Age: Six months old
Gender: Male Breed: Dog
Home: West Orange, New Jersey, USA
 
   This is our puppy Zeke. He lives in West Orange, New Jersey with his mom, dad and two cats, Calvin and Hobbs. He is a mixed breed (german shepherd, golden retriever, rotweiller, chow....you name it!) about six months old. He weighs about 55 pounds now and we expect him to keep growing, and growing....

    Zeke is a very special puppy. He was rescued from a "kill" shelter on September 11th and brought to a wonderful shelter in East Hanover, New Jersey. When my husband was at the shelter, Zeke was playing with some other people and just stopped and stared at my him. We knew then that he had picked us and was meant to be a part of our family. We are so lucky to have found such a wonderful, loving dog and we just can't understand how anyone could have given him up!! Zeke is a very good dog, very mellow, and very low keyed. When ever we take him to visit some one's house, we are always told he's welcome back because he is so well mannered. He has learned a lot of tricks and loves to show them off to people. Besides having his tummy rubbed, his favorite thing to do is play with his dog friends and chase the cats around the house. He doesn't understand why they run - he just wants to play!! We love this big, furry, lovable dog and think we are the luckiest people in the world that he picked us!
