Look at Dylan now. 💙🐾
Sometimes the best stories are the ones that remind us just how much love, patience, and care can change a life.
Dylan came to GALT in July as part of a heartbreaking neglect case. At less than two years old, this sweet boy weighed just 39 pounds. Today, he is up to 57 pounds, an incredible gain of 18 pounds, and he is looking and feeling so much better.
Dylan still has some hurdles ahead. He tested positive for heartworms and began his treatment journey this month. Thankfully, he tested negative for tick-borne diseases, has been neutered, and is making wonderful progress.
And what a personality this boy has. Dylan absolutely loves his toys, playing with his canine housemate, and feeding time. After everything he has been through, seeing him enjoy the simple pleasures of being a happy, playful young dog is certainly something special.
We also learned a little more about his family tree. DNA testing revealed that Dylan is 66% Greyhound, 18% Whippet, and 16% Borzoi. Even better, he is the brother of Garth and Brooks, who are with GALT Central Texas.
Dylan’s story is still being written, but what a difference these past few months have made.
