Poor dog, but you are right that he is still handsome. Good luck to him
He still looks game for anything to come. Keep up your great work. Thanks again from all dog lovers.
Well exposed for such a sad occurrence.
Our dogs often have had a sad or rough start in life. That is why our motto is "It's all about second chances".
Some of our rescue dogs just need a lot of TLC while others are in need of major veterinary care.
Dallas is a year-old Maltipoo (Maltese + Poodle) who is in need of some major surgery to save his rear leg. He was born with a faulty hip and is in quite a bit of pain when running or walking. It is either spend the money for the surgery or have the leg amputated ($3,000 for the repair vs. $800 for the amputation). Dogs do very well with three legs but, we do all we can possibly do to prevent such a loss, Especially in a young dog like Dallas.
Our dogs are in the very best shape possible when they are adopted. We really enjoy our adoptive families keeping us updated on the status of their new cherished canine family members and enjoy even more when a prior rescue dog is brought to one of our rescue events to visit and show off.
Here is a montage of four, additional puppies that we recently rescued from a Korean Dog Meat Market...

Mister doesn't look too phased by the loss of an eye. Love the hair cut and the bow tie.
What happened to the people involved in the Korean Market? Surely it's illegal in the US?
Ok, I see.
You'd have a hard time doing that down here. Because we don't have rabies it's VERY hard to bring many animals (including dogs) into the country. In fact you cannot bring dogs in directly from Korea at all. They have to come in via an approved country and spend some time in that country plus still have to go through an extended time in quarantine when they finally get here.
This page has a few details.....

Even if you take your dog out of the country and then return you had better not have been to a non approved country because the same rules apply. Guide dogs etc are not exempt either.
I can understand your strict regulations in Oz but, we don't seem to have a prevalence of Rabies in dogs or cats here in the USA. And that which we have is most often transmitted by wild animals. As per the California Department of Health...
"In California, most cases of rabies occur in bats. Rabies is also occasionally detected in other wild animals such as skunks and foxes. Rabies is rarely identified in domestic animals such as dogs and cats, but can occur if they are bitten by a rabid wild animal. "
Of course, if Trump has his way, he would probably legislate against bats, especially Muslim bats, from entering our country
