Mookie came to Paws Above Rescue as an owner-surrender. The Boston terrier/French bulldog mix had cherry eye. We needed to have the cherry eye surgically removed to ensure Mookie didn’t develop any further eye complications, but also to make sure it wasn’t an obstacle to being adopted.

Mookie recovered well from the operation. We are pleased to announce that he has since been adopted!
