Meet Zeke, a loving, extremely smart, loyal companion who lives for neck scratches, treats and car rides! He is a kind & playful boy who will do anything for baby carrots, his favorite treat. He is known to “smile” big when he sees his favorite people, followed by a booty shake to show his excitement. He loves meeting new people, but prefers to give them a few sniffs before going in for full pets.
Zeke was adopted as a puppy from a rescue in Memphis by a retired couple and their adult son with special needs, who Zeke was extra gentle with! He instantly became a beloved part of the family. After the unexpected passing of his owner and the addition of a newborn into the home, Zeke has had a tough time adjusting to all the changes. He adores the older grandchildren but was overwhelmed by the new infant. Therefore, Zeke would thrive best in a home with any adult or a family with older children.
Zeke has not lived with another dog, but did fine in doggy daycare and being boarded.
Zeke is fully crate trained, house trained and has good manners. He does well with commands sit, lay down, “go to his bed (crate)”. Zeke loves food and has been known to steal a treat off the counter a time or two, but now he puts himself in his crate when you start to cook so he can keep his good boy status! He is also crated when left alone in the house and does just fine!!
He is a happy, loving boy who is really low maintenance as he doesn’t require a ton of exercise. Short walks, snuggles, baby carrots and love is all this boy wants and needs. In return you will get a true BFF.

More about this rescue
PAWS is comprised of a small group of volunteers from New England and Tennessee trying to reduce the euthanization rate (previously 90%) at the Tipton County Animal Control shelter in Brighton, Tennessee. This shelter is forced to euthanize thousands of animals each year due to irresponsible pet owners that do not spay/ neuter their dogs in the area. Millions of dogs in America are euthanized each year due to lack of space and lack of funding to try and find them better homes.
Our mission is to save as many animals as possible, removing them from the shelter, having their veterinary needs met prior to traveling and then finding them loving homes throughout New England. We do this only with the assistance of many people volunteering their time by going to the shelter, transporting the dogs to the vet, fostering dogs who need special care, and arranging for their new and happy homes in this area. Most importantly, we cannot do any of this without those people willing to open their homes and hearts to these lovely creatures.
