Gyro

This is Sharon from FFAA.  Here is a story about one of our precious furry friends, Gyro.  Laurie always works wonders with the animals that move here and our dog walkers truly helped Gyro learn how to walk straight.

GYRO is a most interesting character that has now been with us for about 5 years. He came in to a Shelter in SE New Mexico as a stray with a serious head injury. It appears that he had his head bashed in and his motor skills were very compromised. After some time of only being able to go in a circle he began to straighten out. We built him a special stall for the night time and bad weather because he cannot get into a dog house due to his continued wobbliness. He has been a very interesting dog to work with, he is not always predictable but over time Gyro has learned to trust and like us here. He spends his days in a mini pasture and he can now scoot along at a good pace. He has learned to be comfortable around the other dogs when we lead him back and forth each day and he loves his routine. We always do the same thing with him each day so he knows what to expect. When you come visit ask us about "Gyro”he is quite a guy.
