Adopt Eve

Lurcher · Male · Adult · 5 years

Eve is a small to medium sized, high energy, collie whippet x who is 2.5 years old and been in our care since April 2023. She was found as a stray, owners were located who refused to take her back. Eve is very affectionate to those she knows, and responds well to training, being food motivated and eager to please. She loves to play with toys, as well as fetch and tug of war. She is good in the crate and does not have separation anxiety. Eve is clean in her kennel house training in a home environment should be easy . She loves her walks, is excellent using a halti but can get excited when she encounters new things. She will bark at other dogs when on lead, in a non-aggressive frustration type of way. She will pull hard to get to them and bark a lot, this doesn’t always stop when they meet. Eve has had off lead play with other dogs at the kennels and all has been fine. She sometimes tries to lick people as she passes them and is generally friendly, but if someone approaches her too fast or talks in an overly pushy voice she will bark at them and get annoyed (I think she finds this threatening). She does need a decent couple of walks per day or if another playful energetic dog in the home Eve burns off energy playing and does not need as many daily walks. Eve loves to cuddle and will cosy up on the sofa. Eve requires a home in a quiet rural or country area and gets overwhelmed if too many people are coming and going in a home hence she requires a home with one person or a couple. Eve does not get on with all dogs but has been kenneled with various other dogs and got on great with them all. She does not like all dogs but there is no pattern e.g. certain size, breed or sex, the more playful energetic dog seems to be her favorites. We will know straight away if she will get on with your dog. Eve is a lovely girl, she is very loyal and will be a lovely companion but needs time to settle and not too many adventures to begin with.. Eve is spayed, microchipped, fully vaccinated including KC, worm and flea treated. Home visit and adoption fee apply. Please note we are in North Cork and adopters must be willing to travel to our kennels to meet the dogs and if applicable bring their own dog with them. Unique Registration ID: DPT200002C

About Eve

What life with Eve looks like

Eve is a small adult lurcher dog waiting at PetMatch Ireland in Ireland.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. Two reasonable walks a day plus play time is usually enough. Plan a "decompression fortnight" — quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures — to let them settle.

🇮🇪Adopting from Ireland

Irish shelters require a home check (often phone or video) and an adoption contract. Animals are vaccinated, chipped, and registered. Cross-border placements to mainland Europe require the rabies titer test (TRACES system).

Frequently asked

Adopting Eve, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Eve?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. PetMatch Ireland handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Eve on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Eve if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — PetMatch Ireland will tell you what they need (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Eve already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
Most dogs on TailHarbor leave their shelter with sterilization, current vaccinations, microchip ID, and an EU pet passport included in the adoption fee. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported — ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if Eve isn't the right fit?
Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work — that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with PetMatch Ireland early rather than rehoming privately; they know Eve and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.
Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?
TailHarbor translates shelter descriptions into English from the source language (EN). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.
