My name is Zeke!

Zeke is exceptionally handsome. He would turn heads everywhere you go with him. Zeke is a one to two year-old Belgian Malinois that weighs 57 pounds and was brought into the Mesquite Animal shelter by a concerned citizen on 11/30. I said in the introduction that he was smart. He is and he’s smart enough to know what he wants! He’s very strong willed. He would do best with an experienced dog owner (preferably one with some behavioral training experience). Zeke needs training to learn not to jump on you and to walk on the leash. Until he learns not to jump on you he would not be suited for a family with young children. As smart as he is and with adequate training, Zeke would be a phenomenal dog! He’s friendly. At this point, he’s overly friendly. He loves to run freely in the yard. He’s very alert and explored the yard. He’s also very athletic and likes to climb. He was whining for a while. I’m assuming he was missing his owners. That indicates to me that he would be very loyal. If someone wants to invest time with this fantastic dog, you would be rewarded with an exceptional dog! He did do his business when he got out into the yard. He does know the sit command, but can get overly excited and jump on you at the same time. He’s highly motivated by treats which should help with his training. He would need a yard to run in but once he stretched his legs would like to chill out in the house with his new family.
