Nathaniel - SATF

Nathan is a participant of Unleashed Rescue Academy at SATF Corcoran, CA. Nathan shares was this program has meant to him and what he is looking forward to in the future!


Wileys wish is a animal rescue that saves dogs from high kill shelters all over California. They work with the CDCR to then place these dogs inside prisons, where they live full time until they are adopted. Wiley's wish trains the inmates on how to prepare these dogs to be adopted and find their forever home. They work on desensitizing them to noise, new areas, and grooming. Dogs in the program learn how to obey commands and many are on the path to be service animals.

As of now, Wiley's Wish is in 3 prisons - Here are the programs
Soledad - Stripes and Paws
Pleasant Valley - Coalinga - Second Chance Rescue Program
SATF- Corcoran - Unleashed Rescue Academy

My goal is to help bring exposure to the amazing things that are happening behind prison walls here in the Central Valley.

Inmates undergo a long application and interview process by staff and peers before they are admitted into the program.
