BLOOMFIELD, NJ — The quest to discover a home for a canine with a historical past of epilepsy continues in Bloomfield, in keeping with an area animal shelter.
Last week, the Bloomfield Animal Shelter mentioned it’s trying to find an adopter, a long-term foster home or a rescue scenario for “Borys,” an 8-year-old Belgian Malinois who was discovered as a stray and surrendered to the shelter by his proprietor.

“Sadly, he came to us with multiple health issues, but we are determined to make sure his remaining time is spent in a comfortable home vs the shelter,” workers introduced in a social media submit.
There are two issues to learn about Borys earlier than you attain out, the shelter mentioned:
MEDICAL – “Borys came to us with a known history of epilepsy, causing multiple seizures in his lifetime, and loss of most vision in both eyes. According to his owner, he was not given prescription medication for this for the last several years. Furthermore, our veterinarian diagnosed him with Lyme Disease. He is now on a proper medication regimen, which we hope will lessen the frequency of his seizures.”
TEMPERMENT – “Despite his medical issues, he is a sweet boy who prefers being with people vs alone in the cage. He still displays a zest for life and doesn’t appear to be suffering. However, he is beyond confused here, sometimes injuring himself on the cage because of his vision loss, and we can’t help but wonder if we are making the right decision for him. We are hopeful there is a caring person out there who is experienced with older animals with medical concerns, that will take on his needs in a comfortable home.”
Despite a swell of curiosity and a bunch of shares on social media, the hard-luck doggo continues to be in the hunt for a home, the shelter reported Monday.
