For a dog that was "checking out" of life 2 years ago he has found something that gives him Quality of Life. He was one of the original CastAways that came from an Ottumwa IA puppy mill. The conditions were so deplorable the local officials who raided the puppy mill had to wear full body suits and gas masks. The dogs were in wire cages with holes in the floor. They never walked on a flat surface, the ground or grass. They never saw the outside world or had human contact. His ears have pieces missing and his face and eyes are scared from his battles. The dogs were raised 10 per cage. Nolan had to fight for everything and had almost given up on life IE: checking out of life"".
Two years later Nolan is doing what he loves - herding sheep - he has the natural ability for it - all at the young age of nine. Once so shy he hid behind me when meeting a stranger, Nolan can be seen approaching people by touching their leg with his nose. He wants people to pet him. We love you Nolan-way to go.
