The story of Captain Morgan started off as a sad one; he was thrown out as a puppy because of his looks.
His family dropped him off at a high-kill shelter solely based on his imperfections. But Cause For Paws stepped in to make sure the little pup got a second chance at life.

He was no longer wanted by his family and was separated from his mother and siblings. The dog was born with a blind left eye and a half-formed right ear.

But when Nicole Horabik of North Carolina’s Cause For Paws saw his adoption ad online, she had to find him.

She went and got the 8-week-old Pit pup and took him home. She named him Captain Morgan and posted his story to Facebook.

Nicole just wanted everyone to know that imperfect animals can still make perfect pets.

Other than an underbite and a herniated belly, Captain Morgan received a clean bill of health!

Captain Morgan immediately took to and got along with Nicole’s other disabled dogs and started breaking out of his shell.

She just hoped he’d find a forever family to love him, imperfections and all…

And her wish came true! Captain Morgan would go on to a loving forever home and be accepted for whom he is. 🙂
