Eli

My story

Meet Eli, the tiniest of the litter with the biggest feelings. This toy poodle puppy is a sensitive little guy who isn’t shy about letting you know when he’s unsure — yes, he can be a bit of a crybaby, but it’s all part of him learning how to navigate the world. Eli thrives with the right balance: he needs guidance, not coddling. He’s looking for a home that will build his confidence through structure, consistency, and routine. A confident, playful resident dog is a must for Eli. He takes cues from other dogs and does best when he has a steady, social role model to follow. With a friend, his playful, wild side really starts to shine — because underneath it all, he’s still a puppy ready to wrestle, zoom, and have fun. He would do best in a home where someone is around often, helping him learn independence the right way while keeping him engaged and active. Eli’s ideal home: • Another confident, playful dog • Someone home frequently to provide structure and guidance • Committed to building independence — not creating dependency • Able to match his playful, energetic puppy side
