WAYLON'S AMAZING STORY!

Yes, it did "take a village" and this dog beat the odds!

This somewhat long story is about what it can take to save a dog’s life,

and why we always need your support.

Last March, three young Belgian Malinois dogs came in to our Nevada County, CA animal shelter that is operated by local nonprofit, Sammie’s Friends. Our story is about one of these dogs that the shelter staff named "Galway".

They were just pups, barely a year old. Shelter staff thought they'd probably been born outdoors, raised outdoors for a few months, hen abandoned and eventually picked up by animal congrol as strays and brought in to the county shelter.

Clearly these pups had only a little if any human contact. Apparently they weren't used to being leashed, walked, handled, or restrained at all.

Like his brothers, Galway was sensitive, smart, energetic, and playful. He loved romping with his brothers outdoors in the shelter's exercise yard.

About six weeks after he
was brought in to the
shelter, Galway was
taken on a long field trip
to a nearby river and
woods by a volunteer
"walker". He loved it! His
walker said he'd done
really well. Look at the
picture to the right...he
was calm and happy.

But inside the shelter, he
was overwhelmed by the
overcrowded, chaotic,
horribly noisy conditions.
His stress and anxiety
increased with every
passing day. Staff
reported he began “kennel
fighting”, jumping up and
snapping while going in
and out of his kennel.
