Hi there! My name is Zeke, and I am a 5-month-old Golden Retriever mix with a heart full of joy and a wagging tail that never stops! My foster family says I am the ultimate happy-go-lucky boy. I am incredibly easygoing, which means I love to go with the flow, whether we are exploring the world or hanging out at home. I am a super smart puppy. I am very eager to please and absolutely love making you proud, especially when you tell me what a good boy I am! I learn new things super fast, which makes training a blast. Right now, I am working really hard on my potty training, and I am getting better every single day. When it comes to playtime, I am an expert! My absolute favorite things to do are chasing balls and sticks, playing with my canine friends, and I like to watch the birds fly around in my yard. I get along great with other dogs and kids, making me a perfect candidate for a fun, active family. I haven't met any cats yet, so that would be a new adventure for us to navigate together. After a busy day of playing and learning, there is nothing I love more than a good cuddle session. I will happily curl up right next to you to show you how affectionate I am. I am already neutered and fully up to date on all of my vaccines, so I am completely ready to find my forever family. Could that be you?

Adopting a dog in Danielson

Most rescues ask you to fill in an application, meet the dog, and pay an adoption fee that usually covers spaying or neutering, vaccinations and a microchip. Many are foster-based, so you'll often meet your dog in a volunteer's home rather than a shelter.

Senior dogs are often the calmest companions and the slowest to find homes. If you'd like a settled, affectionate dog, ask the rescues about their older residents.

Puppies go quickly, so if you've fallen for one, contact the rescue soon. Ask how big they're expected to grow, and plan for plenty of house-training and training in the first few months.
