Brock Needs Our Help

 Meet Brock a 16 week old American Staffordshire Terrier, Bull Terrier, Great Dane Mix puppy. Brock along with his sister's Pebbles and Wilma were rescued from Maple Grove Impound at only 5 weeks of age. They were found left outside huddled in a crate in the middle of a cold Minnesota winter.  Brock has spent the past few months with his foster mom Susan and has since been diagnosed with Entropic Eye and he will require multiple surgeries to ensure that his eyesight isn't effect and  that he leads a comfortable happy life. Entropion is a medical condition in which the eyelid (usually the upper lid in dogs) folds inward. It is very uncomfortable, as the eyelashes constantly rub against the cornea. Entropion is usually caused by genetic factors and may be congenital.Trachoma infection may cause scarring of the inner eyelid, which may cause entropion.
