Maltese and Poodle Dogs Available for Adoption

Hi, I'm Eli, a 10-year-old Maltese/Poodle mix and yes, I am Eli-gant, re-Eli-able, and absolutely Eli-te at being a good boy. I'm the kind of pup who believes life is better with gentle pats, cozy moments, and quality time with my people, and I'm always happy to come say hello and soak up some affection. I've got a calm, easygoing vibe and prefer my days drama-free, thank you very much. I enjoy simple pleasures, a little playtime here and there, and plenty of opportunities to just hang out and be your loyal sidekick. If you're looking for a sweet, steady companion who's past the chaos and fully committed to the finer things in life, I'm pretty sure we're Eli-gible for happiness together.
