PAWS Pet Of The Week: Zeal

CHICAGO (CBS) -- Merry Christmas from Zeal, the PAWS Pet of the Week.

He is a cute three-year-old lab mix who loves chasing tennis balls. Zeal is gentle when taking treats and will never say no to a cookie.

Zeal's foster family says he is always nearby to ask for belly rubs. He will do great as the only pet in an adult only home.

Zeal is one of many other dogs and cats are available for adoption at PAWS Chicago. Visit the organization's virtual adoption site on the PAWS Chicago website.

If you're not ready to commit to a pet you can still support PAWS Chicago by making a donation.
