This sweet and happy little fellow was found as a stray in Philly. He was in rough shape- matted all over with a mouth full of mushy teeth, and was understandably nervous in the shelter. However, it didn't take him long to settle in here at GOT, exploring the yard and soliciting head scratches from his foster mom. We got his teeth fixed up and his face trimmed nicely, and now Zep is ready for a family of his own!

​

Zep gets along well with other animals, and is happy to meet new people. He does well with house training as long as he's given consistent breaks and the weather is nice. He is happy to go for walks or rides in the car, and is quiet and polite in the house. Zep does have some pain in his legs and will need to be on medications for life, but his "swimmy" little gait just gives him more character, and he loves taking his pills. Overall he's just a good boy! Because of his age and size, we are looking for a home for Zep without young children, but young visitors should be just fine as long as they are gentle and polite. Please consider giving Zep the forever home he deserves!
