My name is
Zeke!

Forget-Me-Nots are small, sometimes missed, flowers that symbolize true love, loyalty, and remembrance. At the Maryland SPCA, we classify a pet as a Forget-Me-Not to highlight an animal that may have some extra considerations for potential adopters to be aware of. Even though this pet may need a little extra TLC in order to fully bloom, we know they are still a strong candidate for adoption and they're sure to bring true love and loyalty into their new family. We hope you'll remember these beautiful creatures when you consider adopting.

Bio from foster:
"Zeke is a prince among dogs. This tall boy just wants to be your family member. His other interests include chewing on bones and sleeping upside down. He will let you know when he wants pets by bonking his paw on you and he'll keep reminding you until he is satisfied. Zeke is usually very patient and calm. For the most part, he spends his days napping. He is alright with being alone, but really enjoys being with his people. He is also a fierce protector of his kingdom! Zeke barks at outside noises, like knocks on the door or the sound of car doors closing. He has enjoyed the children he has met, but can be energetic with his tail and paws, so might be intimidating to smaller children. Zeke loves meeting new people. Once he has met you, you are his friend for life. When excited, he likes to "climb" people and put his paws on their shoulders. He is easily redirected, and then will lean on you to get the rubs he rightfully deserves. Zeke wants to know what his people are eating and would gladly eat any human food he is offered. He would get a gold medal in counter surfing at the Dog Olympics, but again is easily managed. He knows some commands, like sit and paw, and would probably love to do more training. In fact, he would love to do anything his humans want. He is extremely eager to please and adaptable, and he is an absolute delight to have as a foster dog. "
