Vaccinated: Up to date
Location: Vancouver, BC

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 shelter veterinarian 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 multiple short to moderate walks throughout the day
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.
