Meet Eli--84 pounds of pure love!

This HANDSOME boy is an 84 pound hunk of LOVE with he SWEETEST most AFFECTIONATE personality you have ever met. His foster lovingly calls him a "giant baby" and once you meet him, you'll understand why. When Eli arrived at his foster home, the foster's 2 year old granddaughter took one look at him and yelled "Yee-haw!" because she thought he was a horse.

Eli's story started with heartbreak--abandoned in a rural area and left to fend for himself. But despite everything he's been through, Eli absolutely ADORES people and greets life with a happy tail and loving heart. He's never met a stranger and thrives on being part of the family.

This big SWEETHEART is PLAYFUL, AFFECTIONATE, and always ready for adventure. He loves CAR RIDES, walks nicely on leash and would happily join you wherever life takes you. Whether it's relaxing on the deck soaking up the sunshine, going for a stroll or CUDDLING up for movie night. He does love BELLY RUBS! Eli simply wants to be with his people.

Eli gets along great with other dogs and does well with kids though bigger dogs and bigger kids may be best simply because of is large size and playfulness. He's energetic and fun-loving but also knows how to settle down and enjoy quiet time.
He is crate trained and house training is coming along wonderfully. One thing Eli would like to mention himself: "No chickens please--they are just too fun to chase!"

LOYAL, LOVING, GOOFY and incredibly handsome, Eli is ready to become someone's best friend and adventure buddy for life. If you're ready to open your heart, Eli is definitely ready to open his heart to a new family to spend forever with starting a new chapter in his life and yours too! If you feel like you can give Eli a forever loving home, please contact Freedom Street Rescue.
