Molly the collie with mismatched eyes struggles to find a home.

A dog who was born with differently coloured eyes is having trouble leaving a rehoming shelter because potential owners can't see past her condition.
Molly the collie arrived at the Dogs Trust in Newbury, Berkshire, with her near identical sister Holly a month ago.
But while Holly quickly found a new home, Molly has struggled and staff believe it is because she has one blue and one brown eye.

I like the mismatched eyes and think they add to Molly's uniqueness..

I'd be the other way and would go for a dog thats a bit different. I'm sure with the exposure she's now getting someone will offer her a forever home.

Does it really matter what colour the Collie's eyes are? After all the eye problems that Georgina's had, I'm just thankful that at last I have a dog that can actually see!

Well, TBH her sister just looks all around healthier than her. You can't see her sister's third eyelids, her sister is larger, more bright eyed, more robust, her ears are straighter, and she is just healthier looking.

I can also see more intelligence behind sisters eyes, but perhaps that is just me. Then you have the odd eyes, which some people might think are a health problem. I can see why they'd quickly pick her sister and leave her.

I'm sure she will get a home soon, she's a pretty girl and the eyes are unique, not ugly or weird like most people likely think.

That is ridiculous. Tyto's brother has two different coloured eys and he is beautiful.

3rd photo down, look at her tail, then look at that smile. Although the 2nd photo is doing her no favour at all, she looks abit sad.

If people are bothered by the colour of her eyes, then it's a good job for her those people don't take her. What a stupid reason for rejecting a dog.
