meet ELI!
Per DNA test, Eli is a mixed breed with a bit of everything! Corgi, Basset Hound, Boston Terrier, Border Collie. He is neutered, vaccinated, and weighs 46lbs!
Eli was adopted through HFP as a puppy in January of 2021 but is now in need of a new home. We know in the right environment he will THRIVE and be an amazing companion to a lucky person! Here is what his adopters have to say about Eli:
Why is the dog being given up?: Eli has resource guarding issues with the other dog in the home. Eli is actually a very good dog in other ways!
He's very affectionate, loyal, and playful. He is very energetic and wants to please.
An ideal situation for him would be to live in a home with one or two adults who love constant companionship with their pooch. It's very hard to let Eli go. If my husband and I didn't have grandchildren or 6 grand-dogs we wouldn't be in this situation.Eli really is a loving dog! He deserves the best!
First off, Eli is a house dog. He loves toys (but can’t have them with another dog in the house because of his resource guarding issues) :( He loves to sit with his person and watch tv at night and will follow you around the house. He will become your best friend. Eli has never been aggressive with people
Does the dog get along with: Eli is dog selective. He lives with our other dog and gets along with one of our daughter's two male dogs and another daughter's female dog as long as food or toys aren't present. He doesn't get along with our third daughter's 2 male dogs. He gets along with our neighbor's standard (female) poodle. He had gone to dog parks before the pandemic and was fine. He has a huge backyard that he plays in with our husky. He was doing great on the leash before the pandemic but now his exercise is running around in the backyard.
Does your dog have handling sensitivities? How is your dog meeting strangers?: Eli LOVES people
Does the dog like children?: Yes ( but recommend a home without children)
Are there children in the home?: No
Where does the dog sleep?: In the master bedroom on a dog bed
Is the dog allowed on your furniture?: Yes
Is the dog crate trained?: No
Where do you keep your dog: in a spare bedroom with the tv on and door closed. We never leave him more than a few hours at a time. He hangs out with use where ever we are in the house and sleeps in our bedroom at night
How does the dog react to being left alone?: He whines a bit at first but settles pretty quickly
Please list any particular fears your dog has.: None
Describe any training the dog has, tricks it knows, and any experience with a trainer.: He has had two trainers. He sits on command, is getting pretty good at "stay.” He's pretty obedient but needs more leash training.
Does the dog have any known health problems?: No
Does the dog like riding in the car?: Yes
What does the dog like?: ATTENTION!!! He loves to just be with his person. He's very affectionate! He would be so happy living with someone who worked from home or perhaps a retiree. He's very loyal!
What does the dog dislike?: Competition from other dogs
Does the dog jump kiddie gates or fences?: No
Is the dog a digger?: No
Is there anything else you can share that is special, unusual, or endearing about your dog that will help the new owners?: His looks! He is such a unique mix! People always smile or laugh when they look at him. They (and we) think he's very cute! He has a Border Collie/Staffordshire Terrier head and short Corgi/Basset Hound legs. He loves giving kisses!
Please describe a typical day for your dog during the workweek: He gets up when we get up, usually around 7:00 am. He goes out to do his business then gets fed. He goes out in our (big!) backyard to run around and sniff a few times a day. He eats dinner at 3:00 and hangs around with us watching tv at night. He love to fall asleep next to his person on the sofa or in a chair on his person's lap. He goes out to do his business around 10:00 pm then goes to bed. He would love to sleep with his person on their bed but we don't allow it.
Please provide a summary of the “ideal” home for your dog:: A loving home with no other pets and no children would be best! Eli would thrive in a home where his person/people didn't get out much or worked from home. He's very loyal!
