The Wyatt Project, Inc. pet rescue

 Wyatt was first found in the middle of a busy highway median in the DFW area of Texas. After struggling to get close enough to catch him, I painfully and tearfully realized, I would not be able to help him.   I couldn't stop seeing the terror on his sweet face. That night I couldn't sleep. The next day I traveled that same highway and sick to my stomach, I looked for his body. Somehow, he wasn't there... could he have made it?   Later on that evening I went out to my vehicle and there he was, the same terrified dog that I saw in that busy highway median, who was franticly fighting to stay alive was now lying next to my truck. I couldn't believe it at first. Could he have found me at least two miles from where we saw him in the highway? My head struggled to understand this. Surely his family must be looking for him.  Exhausted. He was wearing a very tight collar and was covered in superficial dog bites everywhere. He had tons of sores and was covered in fleas. I bathed him and treated what I could on my own and then brought him to the vets in hopes to find a chip that might give a clue as to where he came from. But nothing. My heart dropped.   That entire week I searched for this sweet boy's family. After tireless calls to countless places and hours of searching and posting everywhere I could think of.... nothing... how could this be? The more I looked the sadder the reality became. Someone dumped this poor young dog in that busy highway median to die. Again, I was sick to my stomach. Page after page of found dogs with no one looking for them. I called around to rescues in hopes of finding someone to help. Thats when I realized what a true disaster state our pet community is in. Rescues are all overrun with no funding or help. All of the kill Shelters are at max capacity and pets are getting dumped everywhere. What kind of pet advocate would I be if I didn't try to help stop some of this and bring awareness to this epidemic.  Wyatt now spends his days laying on my couch with his Poodle friends and our rescued Cats, who are rescues from a 2022 Texas trip.
