Animal rescue working to find home for severely emaciated, blind dog found in Sylvania neighborhood

A local animal rescue stepped up over the weekend to help nurse a “severely emaciated” dog found in Sylvania this week back to health.

Dogworks Ohio, a canine rescue and placement non-profit based out of Toledo, says they believe the Belgian Malinois puppy, Waffles, was a victim of animal cruelty.

Waffles was found wandering on Durbin Rd. and was picked up by Lucas County Care and Control with scrapes and tears all over him. The dog was also severely malnourished.

Dogworks Ohio arranged for the dog to be picked up on Saturday and taken to a foster home for the time being.

“A dog like him doesn’t fare well in a shelter,” said Dogworks Ohio President Pam Cappelletty. “Dogs like that don’t do well because there is a lot of chaos and barking.

Cappelletty says they believe Waffles is totally blind.
