UPDATE: Eileen is experiencing some complications from being hit by a car. She is on hold until we can get an evaluation and determine the best treatment going forward.

Eileen is new to the rescue. We were contacted by a southern shelter with the following information, “Meet Eileen. The sweet little beagle was found injured along the side of a rural road. After a stay with the vet and the love of a foster mom, Eileen has fully recovered. She is very sweet and loves to cuddle. Even when she had her cast, she had lots of energy. She is housetrained. Eileen gets along with other dogs, and we do not know what she thinks of cats. She is now fully healed up and ready to live out the rest of her life as part of a loving family. Please help this sweet girl find her forever home.”

Eileen is about 4 years old and weighs 18 pounds. She has bi-lateral congenital cataracts covering about 3/4 of the back of her lenses along with vertical nystagmus (rapid, uncontrollable eye movements). She is vision impaired. She has better vision out of the side, but things coming right at her can startle her. She also has difficulty with nighttime sight. She is understandably a little timid and cautious although very friendly and affectionate. She does much better with another dog she can follow and cuddle up to.

Elieen is expected to arrive in Massachusetts in March.
