Are you ready to add some spunk and cuddles to your life? Look no further than Zeke, the 1-year-old, 53-pound bundle of joy waiting to wiggle his way into your heart!
Zeke's foster family describes him as the ultimate cuddle buddy - warm, friendly, and always ready to snuggle up with you for some quality bonding time. When he's not busy being your personal teddy bear, you'll find him stationed by the window, keeping an eye on the neighborhood action or engaging in some entertaining people and dog watching.
This adorable pupper is not just about snuggles; he's got brains and brawn too! Zeke is house and crate trained, making him the paw-fect roommate for any household. He'll happily entertain himself with a chew toy for hours, giving you some well-deserved downtime. But don't let his love for relaxation fool you - Zeke is also an active pooch who enjoys at least two walks a day and is a pro on the leash.
When it comes to tricks, Zeke is no slouch. He knows how to sit and paw like a true gentleman and will eagerly perform for a tasty treat. With his intelligence and love for food, he's a quick learner and is always up for a mental challenge, especially if it involves a game of "find it."
In the great outdoors, Zeke is a gentle explorer, taking in all the scents and sights the world has to offer. He's a fan of sniffing around and wouldn't mind trying his paw at agility courses - who knows, he might just be a natural!
Zeke's ideal forever home would be one with gentle playmates and no feline friends, please. He'd love to meet any potential doggie siblings to ensure they're a good match for his playful spirit.
If you're searching for a loyal companion who loves walks, snuggles on the couch, keeping watch over the neighborhood, and playing with balls, then Zeke is the dog for you! Don't miss out on the opportunity to make this cuddle bug a permanent member of your family. Reach out to dogfosters@barcs.org for more information and let Zeke bring joy and love into your life!

BARCS takes in new animals in need of a loving home every day. The pictures above only represent a portion of the animals that are available for adoption at any given time.

Our adoption hours are Monday-Friday from 2-6 p.m. and Saturday-Sunday from 11 a.m.-4 p.m.

More about this shelter
BARCS is a non-profit, 501(c)3 organization operating Maryland’s largest animal shelter and pet adoption center.

A staggering 30 or more animals are surrendered to BARCS every day. No matter what the circumstance, we do not turn away any animal in need of shelter, food, medical care and a loving touch. Yearly, this equates to more than 12,000 dogs, cats, kittens, puppies, and even wildlife and exotic animals that need care and placement.
