Description:

These brothers would love to find ahome together! They are happy little guys, looking for a good sniff of the grass and gentle ear rubs. They are looking for a forever home in which they can comfortably retire.

William and Henry both have a genetic eye condition (William one eye, Henry both) that leads to degeneration of certain cells in the eyes that leads to excess fluid build up in the eyes. William and Henry's vision is hazy but still present. All affected eyes do not seem uncomfortable right now but if too much fluid builds up it can cause blisters on the eye and pain from the excess fluid and inflammation inside the eye.

There is no way to reverse the damage or replace the degenerated cells but there's eye drops to help draw excess fluid out to try to slow the progression. Both dogs will need to be on an eye ointment twice daily for life to help with this.

Pet Breeds: The pet you are viewing is a rescued pet which is most often from an animal control facility or Shelter partner. The breed(s) listed are our best guess and are in no way guaranteed.

If you choose to DNA test your adopted pet, test results may vary from company to company and our breed guess may not be reflected in those results as it is just that, our best guess without knowing a pet’s full history.
