Julie, that is so sad! I'm always seeing red when I read about animal cruelty. What is wrong with people these days! Hopefully he will find a loving and caring family who won't care about his deficiencies. Is there anything a vet can do for his eyes?
Our little Yorkie (Marbles) had the tear issue too. Bless his heart, he had a lot of issues.
We used a sterile saline solution (available everywhere), to clear out his eyes a couple of time a day.
It worked well.
I miss him bunches.
