You can adopt blind shih tzu left for dead
The Michigan Humane Society is looking for a home for a blind shih tzu that was left tied to a pole near Southfield and 7 Mile Road in Detroit.
The 4-year-old dog was discovered March 14 after a tipster called in.
"When we got there, Murdock was in bad condition,” said Myron Golden, MHS field agent, said in a written statement. “He was emaciated, matted and was in need of immediate medical attention.”
Both the dog's eyes had ruptured, causing him pain and the loss of his sight. The decision was made to remove both of his eyes so that he would no longer be in pain.

Murdock was placed with a foster caregiver to help with his recovery. He now is ready for adoption. Though he is blind, officials said, Murdock compensates by relying on other senses.
