Meet Zeke

Zeke is a happy, smart, and playful young dog.

Zeke is a sweet 15-month-old Lab mix (with a few other breeds thrown in) who is fully grown at 60 lbs. He will make a great companion for someone willing to work with a trainer to finish his training in doggie manners. He is energetic, but once he's had a nice walk, he's happy to just hang out with his people and can often be found with his head in his foster mom's lap. His Labrador Retriever side shows when he parades around the house with a sock or glove or a chew stick held gently in his mouth. He is super friendly toward people and other dogs, but can get overly excited when playing with them. When he meets a dog that matches his energy and play style they have a blast.

His original owners loved him and began training, but couldn't keep him due to divorce. He originally lived with young kids and was good with them but we think he should only got to a home with kids ages 13 and up.

Zeke is currently being fostered by his trainer where he's made huge progress on learning not to jump up in excitement and also how to interact with other dogs. He is very responsive to being taught what to do, indoors and out. He is very gentle around his 101-year-old foster grandmother.

He is very good indoors, and as long as he has enough exercise, he's relaxed and calm. He's playful and can entertain himself (and his foster family) indoors with balls and toys. He also loves to get massages. His foster mom says this, " Zeke has a sweet gentleness about him. He only needs some additional training to be an awesome dog."

Zeke responds very well to someone who knows how to be a leader for their dog. He can be your only dog or might be able to live with a calm relaxed dog that likes to play. Zeke would love to have a completely fenced yard where he can run around and be goofy, but as long as he has an owner that gets him out for daily exercise he will be happy.

The first step in our adoption process is to fill out application, so if you are interested in meeting Zeke, please go to https://www.medfieldshelter.com/adopt and fill out the application.

E-mail inquiries about a dog are not considered an application.


If a dog is listed on our website, that means that dog is still available for adoption. The Shelter is staffed primarily by volunteers so adoption meetings take place by appointment. Our dog adoption fee for dogs 5 years old or younger is $350. Every dog we place is given age-appropriate vaccines, wormed, treated for ticks/fleas, tested for heartworm and spayed/neutered prior to adoption. We send each dog home with a collar and leash and a month's worth of heartworm preventative. If a dog is listed on our website, they are still available for adoption. Please fill out the adoption application if you would like to be considered for a dog you see in our care.

With very few exceptions, dogs are happiest and the most well-behaved when they receive daily exercise and ongoing training, so we always prefer to place our dogs with families who are willing to make a commitment to both.
