Description: Meet Cornelius (aka Corny). Long Term Foster. He was rescued in June when he was found roaming the streets of Temecula on a hot summer day. We don't know how long this boy, scared and in pain, wandered around blind and alone. When he was found, his eyes were crusted shut and his decaying teeth and infected ears caused him to whimper in pain. Corny was taken to a nearby vet who kindly cleaned up his eyes, but could not provide a long-term home for him. SDPR was called and came to his aid! No dog deserves to be dumped in the streets and left all alone to find food, shelter and water - especially not a 10 year old, blind, deaf gray-faced boy! After Corny was placed with a SDPR foster, he was immediately taken to the vet for a thorough checkup for his eyes, teeth and ears. Corny is now being cared for by his foster parents the way all old dogs deserve - in comfort, with food to eat, love and a snuggly bed to sleep in. Corny requires daily eye drops to help his dry eye condition; he uses a doggy door and gets around very well once he has been shown around. Corny loves to roll around on his fleece blanket and lovingly look up at you with his big brown eyes; he ignores the cats and gets along with the other dogs. He enjoys his walks in the cool of the evening - he may not see the flowers, but he loves to smell them! Corny is available for adoption to someone who would open their heart to this sweet old boy who just needs daily eye drops, occasional slow, short-distance walks to keep him in shape, a good diet, and a place to lay down and keep his forever parents company.
