🐾 Meet Alastor – The One-Eyed Wonder with a Heart of Gold 🐾

Alastor’s story is one of quiet strength and resilience. Three years ago, locals in Taiwan found him wandering the streets with his right eyeball hanging from its socket after an unknown injury. With limited medical resources available, the veterinarian at the shelter put his eye back into the socket — the best they could do under the circumstances.

Sadly, due to his eye condition and appearance, Alastor spent the next three years in the shelter, overlooked time and time again. Despite this, he remained gentle, affectionate, and hopeful. When our team met him, we immediately knew he deserved a second chance.

Alastor has since received the proper medical care he needed, including the safe removal of his damaged eye. He has healed beautifully and has adjusted wonderfully to life with one eye. His spirit, charm, and resilience have remained unshaken — and now, he’s ready to begin his new chapter in Vancouver.

✨ Personality & Temperament

Alastor is an exceptionally sweet, affectionate, and social dog. He loves going for walks, exploring the outdoors, and snuggling up for attention. He’s great with people, cats, and children, and enjoys being part of family life.

Even though he has one eye, he gets around confidently and doesn’t let it slow him down one bit! Alastor is healthy, calm, and easygoing — the kind of companion who brings warmth and joy wherever he goes.

🏡 Ideal Home

Alastor would do best in a loving home where he can be included in daily activities, go for walks, and enjoy lots of affection. He’s adaptable to both active families and quieter households. His easygoing nature makes him a wonderful fit for adopters looking for a well-mannered, loyal, and grateful companion.

❤️ Health & Care

• Fully vetted, vaccinated, and neutered

• Right eye removed (fully healed, no ongoing treatment required)

• Healthy and active

• Eats well and enjoys short to moderate walks

Alastor has overcome so much, yet his spirit remains bright and loving. If you’re looking for a resilient, gentle, and devoted companion, Alastor might be your perfect match.

The rescuers went to the coal power plant to trap and neuter dogs and William was one of the dogs they trapped. He was easy and so friendly that the rescuers could just walk over to him, pick him up, put him in the car and drive off. After the rescuers got to know him, they decided to find William a home he deserves. The rescuers heard from the staff at the power plant that William came from the Fujian province in Mainland China via a boat. No one claimed him back when the boat returned to Fujian. Because the workers at the power plant are mostly men, so William is very used to male strangers and are not afraid of them. When he goes to a new environment, he might hold his pee and poop for 3-4 days until he settles. Overall he is calm, obedient.[/post_text_body]
