Captain 's Story

Rescued in China. <br/>During Christmas 2025, Captain was found tied to the roadside in Luo Village, for several days. His left eye showed obvious signs of injury. The person who found him took him to a hospital, where it was discovered that his eyes had been injured previously but had not been treated for an extended period, resulting in the loss of the crystalline lens and atrophy of the eyeball, necessitating immediate removal. After Captain’s eye healed, he was discharged and went to live with a foster family who has taken very good care of him. Now he needs a forever home in the US.
