Find-a-Home Friday: Zeke

In today's inaugural "Find-a-Home Friday" post, I would like to introduce a dog named Zeke.

Zeke is a Weimaraner (maybe with something else mixed in?). Weimaraners are beautiful, sleek, silvery-gray dogs. President Eisenhower had a Weimaraner named Heidi. Personally, whenever I hear the word "Weimaraner" I always think of photographer William Wegman and his famous photographs of his Weimaraners in human clothes:

Zeke is approximately 84 pounds and approximately 5-6 years old, which, in my opinion, is pretty much the perfect age. It's about the age Lily is at now. Dogs in that age range have gotten their puppy antics out of their systems and just want to hang out with you while you putter around the garden, watch TV, etc., yet they're still eager to go on outings with you to the park or to doggie events around the community like the ones we frequent with Lily.

Zeke was surrendered to a high-kill shelter in South Carolina through no fault of his own. Apparently, his previous owners were moving, and once they had loaded all their stuff in their truck they couldn't fit in Zeke. So, they dumped him at the shelter to likely be euthanized. Yes, you read that correctly. Zeke deserves a forever family who will never abandon him again!

Fortunately for Zeke, he was pulled from that high-kill shelter by Lucky Dog Animal Rescue and brought to the Washington, D.C. area to find his forever home. Zeke's petfinder profile can be viewed here, and it includes contact information for his adoption coordinator. Do you think Zeke could be the perfect match for you or someone you know? I bet he wouldn't even mind occasionally dressing up in human clothes if you feel the urge to re-create some of William Wegman's photos...
