Profile

Zebulah is a 4 yr old neutered male PB Golden Retriever.  His previous owner had some changes in his personal life, and no longer has enough time to give Zeb the attention he deserves and needs.  The owner was very distraught about giving him up, but wants Zeb to have a GReat life.

 

After just a few days fostering Zeb, we know that he is very affectionate, loves being petted, and is eager to please.  He’s very well behaved.   He already has the run of our house while we are at work and has not done anything inappropriate.  He has learned our routine quickly and loves to play and go on walks.  Zeb hasn’t displayed any aggression or resource guarding.  He gets along good with our resident male GR and he’s met both big and small dogs on walks. He is friendly, but well mannered. 

 

He was very frightened and shy the first few hours we had him, but he quickly warmed up to us and is now a sponge for attention and praise.

 

He is overweight right now but is active and likes to run and play.  We have him on a diet and he already lost 3 lbs.  A good weight for Zeb will be 70-75 lbs.  He currently weights 85 lbs.   Zeb doesn’t mind the diet and he will lose his excess weight quickly.

 

We brought him to the vet last night and he is in good health with no issues. 

 

Zeb is a great dog.  We are amazed at how well behaved, mellow, and easy going he is, and we are enjoying our time with him.

Zeb is doing great.  We had him professionally groomed last night, and he is one handsome guy.  He was a little nervous at the groomer’s, but he took the nail trimming, bath and hair cut in stride.  The groomer said Zeb didn’t care much for the noisy hair dryer, but he was very well behaved. 

 

Zeb stays right in the yard when I am outside with him.  He comes when I call him and he is now fetching balls.  He doesn’t always want to drop it but is getting the hang of returning the ball and then trading it for a treat.  He also likes to carry around stuffed animals, and he also has a soft vinyl ball that he likes to make squeak. He is very much a Velcro dog; he follows me from room to room and loves it when I sit on the floor and pet him while I watch TV.

 

A nice family is coming hundreds of miles to meet Zeb Saturday the 15th.  We think this will be a good match and Zeb may soon be heading for his forever home.
