I'm ready for my new family!

Hi! My name’s Eli and I am just a little guy. I am a 4mo old, approximately 10 pound Mini Australian Shepherd who was surrendered by a breeder. I know I’m cute and a ball of fluff, but I am very introverted and need a specific type of family. I have the prettiest green eyes, chocolate fur and nose. My foster family says I’ve made so much progress. I love to romp around the yard; when I first arrived I refused to even move! I am starting to love those squeaky things and those yummy bones. I would prefer a home with either a laid back dog or where I could be the main focus. I will need a lot of patience to come out of my shell, but when I do, I will love you! I will gladly take a nap with you and snuggle right up against you. When we wake up, get ready for some kisses! I am doing well with housebreaking, but I do nervous tinkle sometimes. I can be a bit shy around men. My foster family thinks I will do best with someone who will take me on many walks and hikes to get me out and keep me busy. Patience will be needed, but with time, I will be the most loving little guy.  Eli’s adoption fee is $650.  He is a medical Benefactor Dog, benefiting dogs with special medical needs and expenses, to help them live a normal life.
