Meet Eli — a stunning 3-year-old, 38-pound Border Collie mix ready to find his person. Eli is a sweet, sensitive boy who may be a little shy at first, but give him a little time and you’ll see just how quickly he opens up. Once he feels safe, he becomes incredibly affectionate and truly just wants to be close to his people. True to his breed, Eli is smart and eager to learn. He would thrive in an active home that can provide both mental stimulation and physical activity—think walks, playtime, training, and maybe even some fun enrichment games. He’s the kind of dog who will bond deeply and shine when given structure and purpose. Eli is wonderfully well-rounded: * Dog friendly * Kid friendly * Cat friendly * Appears to be house trained * Working on crate training * Rides well in the car Since coming into foster, Eli has been decompressing and gaining confidence more each day. It’s been incredible to watch him blossom, and we know his best days are still ahead. Eli is looking for a patient, loving home that will continue to build his confidence and give him the life he deserves. In return, you’ll get a loyal, intelligent, and deeply devoted companion. Help us find Eli his forever home. Adoption fee is $250
