About Eli

Eli is a handsome gentleman looking for a forever home. This calm and mellow Westie mix came to us after his owner passed away, and though his previous family could not keep him, Eli is ready to find a new start. At around 10 years old, he has a fondness for male owners and would thrive in a home where he’s the center of attention. Ideal for a one-on-one companionship, he doesn’t engage with other dogs, so a solo setting is best for him. Eli is truly an easy-going companion, great on leash, and has a healthy appetite. He is neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped, ready for his next chapter. Since he enjoys the company of people, a family that will be home frequently would suit him well. Plus, he may need a dental procedure in the coming year, which is just a minor detail for such a lovely dog. He’s in Santa Monica, CA, and you can reach out to us for more information about adopting him. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
