In Need of a Home, Eve the Border Collie


Even living here spending most of her time in a hospital kennel, Eve is a happy, high-energy, happy-go-lucky pup. She was a bit of a challenge to photograph, because every time I got down to her level, she rushed over to give me kisses.

She was abandoned and injured, so animal control brought her to us for treatment. We have since fixed her dislocated elbow and she shows no evidence that it ever happened. She still has- and will likely always have- nystagmus (see below) but even so, she doesn’t seem to let it bother her at all.



Eve is an approximately 1 year old, black and white border collie mix; with the usual fun attitude that comes with that breed. Our doctors suspect she is spayed but if not, we will be happy to perform the surgery at no additional cost

She’s so lovable- won’t you let her into your heart and home?








*From the National Institute of Health:

The involuntary eye movements of nystagmus are caused by abnormal function in the areas of the brain that control eye movements. The part of the inner ear that senses movement and position (the labyrinth) helps control eye movements.

I personally have nystagmus. I do feel a bit dizzy at times, especially when changing position quickly, but other than that have not had any issues.

Eve's new "dad" reports that she enjoyed her first weekend in her new home. She ate well and played joyfully in the huge backyard with Madison (her new Golden Retriever housemate)! We're SO happy for her.
