ELI **okay with cats!**

Meet Eli: The Comeback King <br/><br/>Eli isn’t just any dog—he’s a survivor with a heart of gold. This 6-year-old gentle soul has been on quite the journey, and he’s ready to share the next (and best!) chapter of his life with a forever family. <br/><br/>When Eli first came to us, he tipped the scales at 88 pounds and moved through life with sore, damaged knees. But with love, medical care, and a whole lot of determination, he’s transformed. Today, Eli is a healthy 60 pounds, walking strong after successful TPLO surgeries on both knees. He’s living proof that second chances (and healthy snacks!) make all the difference. <br/><br/>Eli’s favorite things are the simple joys—lounging near his people, soaking up sunshine, and keeping a steady routine. He isn’t looking for wild adventures; instead, he thrives in calm, stable environments where he can be someone’s shadow and steady source of comfort. <br/><br/>He gets along well with both dogs and cats, but his gentle, easygoing nature means he prefers companions who respect his space. He also manages pannus, a condition that causes some vision loss. With daily eye drops (which he takes like a champ), Eli stays comfortable and happy. Because of his limited vision, a quieter home without young kids is the best match for him. The monthly cost for his eye drops is about $35. When adopted we will send him with several months supply.<br/><br/>If you’re searching for a loyal, low-key friend who will curl up beside you and remind you every day of the beauty of resilience, Eli is your guy. After everything he’s been through, he’s ready to settle into the loving, forever home he truly deserves.<br/><br/>Eli's adoption fee is $250. He is neutered, microchipped, up to date on vaccinations and will come with his eye drops.<br/><br/>If you are interested in possibly adopting Eli, please complete an adoption application located here:<br/> <br/>https://idawg.org/application.html
