It was an unlikely sight for shelter workers when they found a beautiful purebred Husky named Nate roaming the streets like a stray. However, it was soon established that Nate was very different from other homeless dogs. His hollow and haunted eyes clearly spoke of a disturbing past, and he was extremely skittish and shut himself down. Please meet Nate, this is his story!

When the workers scanned Nate for a microchip, his behavior finally made sense. The poor guy was registered under a laboratory and had been subjected to the most brutal testing procedures for months on end.

What made Nate’s situation even worse was that the irresponsible lab had remorselessly dumped him on the streets once they were finished with him, leaving this traumatized dog to fend for himself with no support or care. Thankfully, shelter workers were determined to help Nate heal and find the loving home he had always deserved.
