Zeke, the Dog of the Day
Name: Zeke
Age: Two years old
Gender: Male Breed: Australian Shepherd
Home: Illinois, USA
 
   This is Zeke, a two-year-old Australian Shepherd, who spent eight months in a Rock Springs, Wyoming shelter before coming to Illinois last summer to live. His hind quarters & ears were so badly matted that they had to be shaved. He has turned out to be a wonderfully loyal gentle companion, who loves to play ball, go for rides, and eat "Greenies". Rescuing him was the best move I have ever made. He fit into our lifestyle seamlessly.

    He eats a meat/veggie diet which has brought out the vivid colors in his coat. He actually changed colors in the first couple of months of eating this combination. He became a much deeper brown rather than a washed out blond.

    He loves to run (three miles) and then rest and drink water on the tailgate of my pickup truck. Zeke's just the best.
