Eve ACCT-A-259076 is currently considered urgent and at risk of euthanasia due to medical concerns. Eve must have confirmed placement with a RESCUE PARTNER or ADOPTER by THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 10TH at 10AM. Should Eve's medical or behavioral status change, her urgency and timeline for placement may also change.
Eve is a sweet, easygoing senior girl who came to ACCT Philly as an owner surrender on August 19th. She is generally low-energy and easy to walk, enjoys playing with toys and chasing the water hose, and has been affectionate and tolerant of handling. Her owner reported that she does not like other animals, and while Eve has met some other dogs at the shelter, she can be tense during greetings.
Eve has an upper respiratory infection (URI), with concern for pneumonia. She is not eating and is currently being treated with antibiotics, an appetite stimulant, and supportive care. Eve would love a patient home that can give her the time and support she needs while she gets back to feeling her best. Due to her medical concerns, Eve is urgently seeking placement with a rescue partner or adopter.

Kennel Presentation: Laying on the bed when I approached with soft eyes and ears to the side. Spoke to her softly and she came to the front.

Sociability: Allowed all handling with soft eyes, ears to the side and mid to low tail occasionally wagging.
Play: She loved chasing after the water hose.
Return to Kennel: Hesitated to go back into kennel. Needed to take one step in and she followed. Removed leash with hand.

Per staff 8/21:
Tolerated all handling, exam, and treatment. Very interested in smelling around the room, in every corner. Greeted everyone in the room. Very wiggly girl.
Per staff 8/21:
Medical staff member needed help returning her to her kennel, greeted me with soft eyes, ears back, loose body, low tail wags. Started to jog to her kennel, put on the brakes when we got close, would go up to her kennel for treats, would not hop in. Tried a half step which did not work either. With leash pressure she pulled back with wide eyes and her ears back. The staff member mentioned that she had not been outside yet and seemed like she may need to go potty. I took her for a quick walk and she went to the bathroom right away outside. Walking back she put the brakes on at the start of her row, with a jog we made to her kennel where she started to buck. Needed a second handler to do a belly loop to get her into kennel. Tried to push her way back out, had to hold the door steady and was able to remove my leash with the clip.
Per staff 8/20:
Kennel Presentation: In the back part of her kennel when I approached. Came to the front with soft eyes, ears to the side and tail down not moving.

Did so good in dog intake! Solicited pets from everyone in room, let me handle all over. Loves any food you give her. When giving her vax she licked the cream cheese off door but when she was poked she did turn around, but not in an aggressive way. She let me finish her pokes and then let ACA bear hug her head for the chip which she didn't even flinch for.
