A Quiet Home for a Gentle Senior Soul: Adopt Eli

10-year-old male Yorkie with special needs for adoption
🐶 Meet Eli – A Shy Sweetheart in His Golden Years

We are looking for a peaceful and loving retirement home for Eli, a gentle 10-year-old male Yorkshire Terrier. This sweet 4kg boy is very shy at first and needs time to feel safe and come out of his shell. Once he trusts you, his loving and devoted personality shines through. Eli is a special boy who deserves a patient and compassionate owner to help him enjoy his golden years.

Eli has a history of seizures, which will require management with the guidance of a vet.  Eli occasionally experiences seizures, but with medication he has been seizure-free for the past year. He gets along well with other dogs and would likely appreciate a calm canine companion. Because of his timid nature and medical needs, a quiet, adult-only home would be the perfect environment for him. He is a vocal boy who will need a house with a yard and a patient owner to help him with his training.
