Visually Impaired Veteran Adopts Dog Left Blind and Abandoned by Previous Owners
A dog left blind and abandoned by his previous owners is getting a second chance in the arms of the perfect forever family.
On Jan. 15, Louis, a 3-year-old Lab/Shepherd mix, went home with a blind Marine veteran and his family, all of whom understand the sight-impaired pup’s special needs.
Louis showed up at Helen Woodward Animal Center (HWAC) in Rancho Santa Fe, California, in late December 2020. After he contracted an eye infection, Louis’s former owners opted to have both of his eyes removed, having failed to seek treatment until it was too late. Soon after, the dog was struck by a car and his leg was left broken. Again, as he didn’t get the required care needed, his leg was healed improperly, HWAC wrote on a Facebook post.
