Mama Eva’s incredible transformation: From emaciated to adoptable
BEND, Ore. (KTVZ) -- BrightSide Animal Center released a new update on Mama Eva. She's the Cane Corso dog we told you about in our Problem Solvers Report.
She was first spotted wandering near Billy Chinook and is believed to have traveled nearly 40 miles before ending up near Smith Rock.
After being safely captured, she spent nearly two months on a strict feeding schedule and underwent medical care.
Her cherry eyes were repaired, a mass removed, and she was spayed.

Mama Eva is closing one chapter, and opening the next. The first photo shows Mama Eva when she arrived in our care, and the last photo is her today. She still has a road of healing ahead of her, but she’s already feeling and looking so much better.
If you don’t remember Mama Eva’s story, she was first spotted wandering around Billy Chinook and is believed to have traveled nearly 40 miles before ending up near Smith Rock. Photos of an emaciated dog who looked like she had just given birth started circulating on social media, and thankfully this community stepped in and took action.
Once she was safely captured, her journey was really just beginning. Mama Eva needed to heal in a home and begin a strict feeding schedule so we could safely help her gain weight and strength. After almost two months of care, the day finally came for her to get the medical treatment she desperately needed.
Her cherry eyes were repaired, a mass on her forehead was removed, and she was spayed, so no more puppies in this girl’s future! Between an 8-cup-a-day feeding schedule, these vet visits and surgeries, Mama Eva’s care has been a lot, but every single bit of it was worth it. If you’re able to help us recoup some of those costs, by making a donation, it allows us to keep saying yes to dogs like her who need the medical attention and care to start their next chapter.
We’re also so happy to share that Mama Eva has officially been cleared for adoption by our medical team! She is incredibly sweet and friendly with people, and her foster says she’s showing more of her spunky and very sweet personality every day. Right now she seems fearful of other dogs, so she would likely do best as the only dog in the home, where she can truly be the queen she deserves to be.
Thank you to everyone who shared her story and helped get her safely to BrightSide. Mama Eva’s next chapter is finally one filled with safety, love, and hope, and that’s because of you.
