Chili needs eye surgery!

Chili is an adorable blue mixed breed who came to us in desperate need of eye surgery. Chili was found as a stray with bilateral cherry eyes, a prolapse in the gland of the dog's third eyelid. Chili's eyesight is currently limited because he can't see out of either of his full eyes. Chili weighs only 23 pounds and has an extremely handsome blue, fluffy coat. We believe he is approximately 2-3 years old. We're taking your guesses on what on earth he may be mixed with - for now we think maybe Basset Hound, as he is long and low to the ground. But as for the coat and that color - we have no idea!

Chili is still unsure of what's going on - he's been passed around from shelter to vet and is patiently waiting for someone to bring him home and snuggle up on the couch with him. He is shy at first, but warms up quickly, especially with the help of cookies! He gets along fine with other dogs and cats.

We have surgically treated this sweet boy's cherry eye in both of his eyes, however we are desperately in need of donations for his eye surgeries. As an all volunteer, 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization, Pet Rescue of Mercer relies heavily on your donations to continue saving lives. If you would like to make a donation towards Chili's care, contributions can be made online through our website www.petrescueofmercer.org or mailed directly to us at Pet Rescue of Mercer, P.O. Box 2574, Hamilton, NJ 08690.
