About Eli

Meet Eli! This 7-year-old male Shih Tzu mix weighs about 10 pounds and is eager to find his forever home. Rescued when his previous family could no longer care for him, Eli has blossomed in foster care. Though a bit shy at first, his charming personality shines brightly once he feels comfortable. Eli enjoys the company of other dogs and thrives in a home with canine friends. He is crate trained and mostly potty trained, but may have an occasional accident while adjusting to a new routine. This sweet guy loves to play and can entertain himself with toys, though he also treasures cozy dog beds and soft blankets for his afternoon naps. He is neutered, up to date on vaccines, heartworm negative, microchipped, and has had his teeth cleaned. Eli is currently in the Orlando area and is looking for a patient and loving adopter who appreciates a gentle companion. If you think Eli could be the perfect fit for your family, begin the adoption process today!
