About Eli

Meet Eli, a 10-pound ball of sweetness and fun! This 1-year-old Shih Tzu is bursting with personality and enthusiasm for life. It's hard to believe he ended up at Animal Control, but luckily he's found a safe haven with us. Eli adores people and gets along well with other dogs, making him a perfect companion for an active family. His energetic spirit is ideal for running, playing, and exploring the great outdoors. When playtime wraps up, Eli transforms into a loving little guy who enjoys snuggling with his humans, ready to return all the love he receives. His foster parent is currently working on housetraining, and although he’ll need continued support in that area, he's making good progress. Eli requires a securely fenced yard where he can safely burn off his puppy energy. He’s current on vaccinations and has tested negative for Heartworms. Plus, he’s scheduled to be neutered on November 10th and will be ready for adoption shortly after. This affectionate little guy is seeking a forever home full of love and companionship. If you have room in your heart for an energetic companion, Eli just might be the perfect match for you. Make sure to fill out an adoption application through Forever Home Canine Rescue to start the process!
