Eli came into our lives because we needed someone for Peyton to play with.  We scoped out petfinder.com and met him through a wonderful rescue group called Canine Pet Rescue.  He came with some issues - Eli didn't like most people.  We don't know his history, except he was is poor shape when he was surrendered in Chicago's anti-cruelity rescue.  We have completed obedience training and worked with socializing Eli in the last year.  He has grown so much!  His tail now wags and he smiles when he is happy - this is new.  He has learned to play with his brother and our kids.  He is very loyal and full of kisses.

Eli is a bichon poodle mix, weighing a whopping 20 lbs. 
He lives with his brother, Peyton, a miniature poodle.
