Captain Canada!!!

Donation protected
My name is Sarah MacLeod, I am from Riverview, NB and last September I left Canada and flew to Vietnam to volunteer at a dog shelter. The shelter is Paws for Compassion (Da Nang). During my time at the shelter, I met the most amazing and loving animals, one in particular needed the most help. He was injured in a car accident on the streets of Vietnam and left abandoned by his owner. When he was found, his back limbs were paralyzed, he was dragging his frail body on the streets with an infection in his eye. He was found by a vet and for two years spent his life indoors. He was then rescued by the shelter a few years ago and began to learn to live life again with adaptations. He has a wheelchair, had his eye removed, one of his back legs removed, and most of his teeth were removed as well (the vet isn’t his favourite spot now).
I gave Captain a foster home after his leg amputation, originally to give him a quiet place to heal. Through his time in a home, he transformed from an old grumpy shelter dog to an energetic life loving beach boy. He fell in love with cuddles, playing with his toys, rolling around in the beach sand, found his favourite cafes where he began to trust strangers again, and he loves running in his chair off leash in soccer fields. Meanwhile I fell in love with his never-ending trust in life and his strength to give it a second chance, and his smile. I fostered him for my whole volunteer term and loved watching him enjoy his new life. His confidence with people grew and his confidence in himself grew.
I am adopting Captain and my goal is to bring him to Canada with me, back to New Brunswick. Although from Vietnam it is not an easy task to bring a dog, I’ve done lots of research to find a way for us. It’s a long journey for him and an expensive journey. With 3 flights ahead of us to New Brunswick that is an extra 1200$ on top of the flight.
I’ve made him an Instagram account (captain.danang) and tried to gain following of other dog lovers and dog owners, to promote Captains journey and to begin fundraising. If you are able to help we are very grateful, or follow along on his journey through his instagram :)
