Zeke

Bloodhound

2 years, Male, Large

Zeke is a hound mix, which means two things: 

1. His nose is stronger than your WiFi. 

2. He will follow a squirrel trail like it’s his full-time job.

This lanky 1.5-year-old goofball is equal parts snuggle bug and backyard detective. He’s got ears like velvet that are legally required to be touched at least once a day, a tail that operates like a windshield wiper, and a bark that says, “Yes, I’ve seen the mailman & no, I will not calm down.”

Zeke loves sniffing out new trails, sunbathing in the yard, and curling up next to his favorite people when the day winds down. He takes his sniffing duties very seriously — every bush, every tree, every weird smell on your shoe. 

Zeke takes a little time to warm up to new humans—he’s got the classic hound suspicion of strangers—but once he decides you’re safe (and have snacks), he’s loyal, affectionate, and hilariously expressive. He’ll follow you from room to room like a four-legged detective, snuggle like it’s his full-time job, and make you laugh daily with his dramatic sighs and “why is he sitting like that” poses. Expect dramatic sighs, side-eyes, and full-body flops onto your lap. 

He’s smart, sweet, and eager to please. Zeke would thrive with someone who enjoys walks, belly rubs, and doesn’t mind the occasional “hound song” when he gets excited. He’s the kind of dog who bonds hard, loves harder, and snores like a small tractor.

Being alone? He’s not a fan. Zeke would rather not be left solo — he gets anxious without his person and is seeking someone who can help him build confidence and feel secure.

Looking for a four-legged sidekick who will make you laugh daily and remind you that life is best lived nose-first? If you’ve got a comfy couch you’re willing to share, Zeke will repay you with a lifetime of love, laughs, and dramatic howling solos.
