Story
Eve is a 7-year-old Great Dane/Pointer mix whose life changed in the blink of an eye. For years, she lived in a nursing home where she brightened the days of residents and staff alike, offering quiet companionship and comfort to everyone she met. When the facility changed ownership, Eve was suddenly no longer allowed to stay. Thankfully, a kind employee stepped in and brought her home so she wouldn’t be left without a place to go. But due to housing restrictions, they weren’t able to keep her permanently. And so, through no fault of her own, Eve has found herself searching for a new place to call home. Because her world was turned upside down so suddenly, Eve can seem a little aloof or subdued when she first meets new people. She just needs a little time to decide that it’s safe to trust again. Once she does, though, her personality begins to shine. She becomes more expressive, joyful, and affectionate with the people she loves. The fastest way to Eve’s heart is definitely through food—she does the absolute cutest little tippy-taps when she knows a treat is coming! Eve is happiest in a cozy, quiet environment, where she can relax and feel secure. Her favorite place is curled up at her person’s feet, soaking up gentle pets. She’s a big fan of belly rubs and head scratches, and once she’s comfortable, she’ll happily lean in for more. She does well with other dogs and is mostly indifferent to them, content to coexist peacefully as long as her boundaries are respected. Eve also does well with cats and older kids who understand how to give her space and be gentle. Eve is fully potty-trained and crate-trained, and she has lovely house manners (she even knows basic commands). After everything she’s been through, Eve isn’t asking for much—just a quiet, loving home where she can spend her days feeling safe, cherished, and certain that she truly belongs. If you have a soft spot for sweet senior dogs and a peaceful home to share, Eve would love nothing more than to curl up at your feet and be your loyal companion for the rest of her days.
