In an interview with ABC News, Laura Simpson, founder of Massachusetts-based Harmony Fund, said:

Surprisingly, the dog is in fairly good, physical condition.  The blindness of course is from a pre-existing condition, but he's now in foster care and we’re hoping he can find a home there he’s loved and respected in the way he should be.
