Given he is a little older, possible need for tacking of the cherry eye and will need to be neutered...I offered him $250 and an exceptional home. I pick him up tomorrow.

Awesome!
With respect to the cherry eye, most vets won't even offer removing the gland anymore because it is considered inhumane and, as another poster pointed out, can cause a myriad of other problems, including dry eye, which is very irritating for the dog and will likely have you buying eye drops for the rest of the dog's life that will amount to another surgery to tack the gland back in. Also, if you choose to have the gland tacked back in, call around, I've found a great variance in price and expertise amongst the vets in my area.

He is your friend, your partner, your defender, your dog. You are his life, his love, his leader. He will be yours, faithful and true, to the last beat of his heart. You owe it to him to be worthy of such devotion. - Anonymous
