Some dogs win us over with their looks. Some win us over with their charm. Some win us over with both looks and charm, and then we know we are in trouble deep. This is Zeek. He walked in, strolled up to his foster mom, and gave her the most heartbreakingly gentle nose nibble you can imagine. Yep, that would melt the hardest heart, all right.

Zeek was surrendered to FBRN after a couple of failed attempts at finding the right home. His first owner didn’t really have time for him, so Zeek made his way to a new place. Unfortunately, he and the resident pooches didn’t see eye to eye, and after a few grumpy episodes, it was time again for Zeek to search out a better fit. So now here he is, in FBRN and waiting for his perfect forever home.

Zeek is a happy, exuberant boy. He takes life by the horns and barrels in full throttle. He has had a slipped disk injury that he is still recovering from, so his forever home will have to be cognizant of this and keep him at least a little chilled out. Zeek’s zest for life makes him a joy to be around, but it also means that he might be a bit much for small children. Zeek can also get a bit too big for his britches, so he’ll need a forever home where his people are prepared to be strong leaders and have experience with dominant personalities. Zeek likes to be in charge, so larger dogs tend to provoke fights, but he does just fine with smaller canine companions. In addition to being dominant, Zeek is also very protective of food and must be crated and separated for feeding and treats.

Zeek is housebroken and crate trained and does very well in his crate while his foster mom is at work. He needs a mid-day break for a walk and a potty, but Zeek does great otherwise. Zeek doesn’t have any obedience training, but he does listen well when told no. Obedience training would be a great way to bond with this new Frenchie man.

Preference will be given to homes with fenced yards, but other applications will also be considered. Preference will also be given to homes where Zeek can be an only dog because he is jealous and prefers to have all the attention. This guy is just an absolute love bug, nibbling on noses and ears, giving sweet, gentle kisses and wonderful hugs. As long as his forever home understand his needs and quirks, Zeek will make an adoring, loving addition to life.

Zeek’s foster mom describes him like this: Zeek is extremely protective of his person, with other people and other dogs. He will attack strange dogs, and he ignores other people and looks to his owner & takes cues to see whether he'll accept someone or not. Other than that, Zeek is amazing. He is handsome and one of the most loving dogs I have ever encountered. He tends to jump a lot, so he has to be watched, since he threw a disc out in his neck. He just wants to be loved and be loving towards his person. He is a giant baby!

If you think Zeek might be the pup for you, apply for him now. He is being fostered in NE Ohio, and will not be shipped.
