go Oscar! We just adopted a 10+ old Boston Terrier who is blind and deaf as well. He is a snuggle bum...gets around fine and enjoys being with us and our previously adopted rescue Pug. We prefer the older gentle and calm dogs regardless of disabilities! Folks are missing a blessing if they overlook these seniors!!
I think it is great that you took compassion on this dog and that despite eyesight and hearing loss the dog still has the wherewithal to smell his environment and warmly give and receive affection.
Now I see that you are still looking for someone to adopt or foster Oscar and I wish you luck in finding someone. Finding responsible people to care for 100% healthy pets is hard enough let alone a dog this disabled.
I will pray for you and Oscar and hope all works out. Oscar deserves to live.
Do the right thing? We've gotten him comfortable by taking out the eyes. That is the point of the video - that while he is blind and deaf, he finds great quality of life - he senses where people and food are and seeks them out, enjoys being loved on, and does pretty darn well. I think we've done the right thing. I just hope you aren't saying we should put him to sleep.
@dantmn911 Blind and deaf dogs do fine, with help. As long as they are not in pain physically, they do not need to be put to sleep. I agree with tomatoe98.

@kitward24 - and you know this how? Have you been there and not seen any? If you were there why didn't you stay? Don't make claims you can't prove!!!

Oh that is so sad. At least he has you there to help take care of him. That really is sad that he is both blind and deaf. Poor thing.
