Cornelius

Meet Cornelius! Cornelius is a local celebrity, style icon, and the one-eyed bundle of love you didn’t know you needed.<br/><br/>When we first introduced this pint-sized powerhouse, he came to us looking like he might not make it. We knew he faced an uphill battle to become healthy again, and luckily he had an unexpected fighting spirit. This resilient nugget went through massive palate reconstruction and somehow managed to just shrug it off like it was not big thing. He hasn’t missed a single beat in recovery.<br/><br/>Cornelius is a pint-sized pirate of passion with exactly one working eye and absolutely zero sense of personal space. He’s part gremlin, part cuddlebug, and spends his evenings burrowing into blankets like a mole on a mission, staring into the middle distance with his good eye like he’s solving cosmic mysteries, and vibrating with joy anytime a snack bag crinkles within a 20-foot radius. He is all personality and loves his people - and his life - fiercely. <br/><br/>Cornelius would love to be an only dog, but is happy to coexist with other dogs and cats if they let him be. He would love a fenced-in yard to totter around and sunbathe in. Because of his visual impairment and history of severe neglect, he can be a little spicy when surprised (or when, like any of us, he wakes up on the wrong side of the bed). But he loves his chosen people and gives the absolute best kisses and cuddles.<br/><br/>Cornelius is approximately 12 years old, 6lbs, and absolutely epic. <br/><br/>Fostered in Rockville, MD<br/>Please apply at MirisHaven.org
