ELI - GERMAN SHORTHAIRED POINTER (SHORT COAT) DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: German Shorthaired Pointer (short coat). Eli is a happy, affectionate, and energetic pup looking for his forever home! This handsome 50-pound boy is a fast learner who loves people and gets along well with small dogs. If you’re searching for a loyal companion who will keep you on your toes and fill your life with joy, Eli might be the perfect fit. What Makes Eli Special? Super Smart: Eli picks up new cues quickly and is currently learning sit, wait, down, and here. He’s even working on fun tricks like spin and pushups! Loves People: Eli is always excited to be around his humans and will eagerly greet you with a wagging tail and happy energy. Does Well with Small Dogs: Eli has done well with a small dog in his foster home. Energetic & Playful: Eli needs at least 30 minutes of full-speed running every day, so an active home with space to run or a commitment to regular exercise is a must! What to Know About Eli: Still Learning: Eli is working on his crate training, fine-tuning his house-training, and improving his leash manners. He walks well unless he gets excited – as his confidence grows, he sometimes forgets his manners. Car Rides: Eli is not a fan of car rides and will need continued patience and training in this area. Home Requirements: Eli would thrive in a home as a solo dog or with a mellow, non-pushy dog who can be a good influence on him. He needs a family who can provide plenty of exercise and mental stimulation to keep him happy. A home with a yard or access to open spaces for running would be ideal. A Few Fun Facts About Eli: His favorite toy? Balls – he loves chasing them! His favorite activity? Running freely in outdoor spaces! His biggest challenge? Confinement and car rides – working on both! If you’re looking for a sweet, active, and affectionate dog who will be your running partner and best friend, Eli is ready to meet you! He’s making great strides every day and just needs the right person to help him continue his journey. Could that be you?
