Here's what the humans have to say about me:
RESCUE ONLY Meet Eli! He is a 1 yr old neutered male Pointer/Cattle dog mix that weighs 40lbs. He came into the Mesquite Animal Shelter on 11/18 as a stray. Upon arrival, Eli had injuries to his back left leg. He was taken to the vet, then released to the shelter a few days later. He has been healing and has been able to put weight on his leg. He still needs more time to recover, and the reason he is rescue only. He has an exuberant personality. Always happy, smile on his face, and wanting to race around the shelter yard as fast as he can. He loves chasing balls, so its clear to see once he is healed, having an active family to take him for walks and give him plenty of enrichment is what he needs. Having to be on crate rest has made him a bit stir crazy and he will bark and whine in excitement when he goes out to play. Eli loves to be petted and loved on and takes treats gently. I feel eventually he will walk well on a leash, once he is able to play more frequently. He doesn`t show any interests in the other dogs, yet a dog test can be requested of the shelter. Eli has alot of love to give, can one of our rescues help him on his path to a loving family?
