Eli von Edesheim is a stunning 14 month old long haired German Shepherd mix with a longer coat. Not only is he gorgeous, Eli has a gentle soulful heart and the sweetest disposition. He's the kind of boy who is happiest staying right by your side, melting into your affection and leaning closer with every pet. Out on walks he is well-mannered, keeping a nice pace and greeting fellow walking companions with quiet politeness. While he prefers human company over dog play in playgroups thus far at the rescue, he has done well around other dogs, and has even passed his cat testing. If you are looking for a true sweetie of manageable size, Eli is ready to be your tender-hearted shadow and forever best friend.
