Eli

My story

SUPER SWEET and so calm....that's our Eli! Meet Eli! He is an absolutely adorable, 10lb, approximately 7/8 year old, Westie/Cairn Terrier mix. Eli came to us when his elderly owner who had him since a puppy, passed away. He then went to her son and daughter in laws, but after a year....they felt like they couldn't keep him any longer and none of the family members wanted him either. Thankfully, a friend of the daughter in law knew of our rescue and reached out to us. We took one look at this sweet boy and knew we had to help! Eli came directly to our groomer where he had a full spa treatment that was much needed! He then went to his foster home who told us exactly what he needs in forever home. We are looking for a calm and quiet home with owners that are home most of the day. Another dog in the home is fine, but ideally he could be your one and only. He does fine and will coexist with other dogs, but doesn't really interact with them. He seems to prefer and feel safer with men, but is ok with women also. A home with a safe and secure yard would be nice as he loves to hang out in the backyard. The first few days to a week, he will come very scared and so safety and security will be highly implemented so he doesn't get out. We will require a dog gate at the front door 24/7 and he cannot be taken out of the home for 3-4 weeks. Eli is absolutely SO sweet, calm, quiet, and loving once he feels safe in his surroundings. He is very food motivated and that can help with him gaining your trust. His prior owner must have taken such good care of him because his teeth are absolutely sparkling white! Sweet Eli did not deserve to be dumped after losing his owner, but we know that his perfect forever home is out there! Eli is neutered, microchipped, and vaccinated. We only adopt in the Greater LA areas as an in person meet/greet, home check, and trial period are required. Please contact us for more info at gina@theforgottendog.org or 310-990-2020
