This morning, the rancher who just took 5 of my cats for his ranch called me and asked if I could spare one more? Could I? In a heartbeat for this paradise spot. I decided to give him Chances, the newest torbie.

He and his daughter live way up on the mountain virtually in the middle of nowhere. I was coming back from the adoption and I rounded a curve and saw this beautiful white great dane trotting down the road. No homes for miles. I pulled over, opened the door and whistled and this beauty comes romping over and licks me in the face- then he jumps into the truck!

He was a sorry mess-he was covered with sores, he had hives all over him, his penis looked red and swollen but he was a friendly boy (not neutered). I ran him to the vet, no chip he is about 5 years old and very friendly without any manners or obedience training.

I brought him home where he tried to chase two of the cats and mounted poor Brandy, so I apologized to him and took him to animal control. I don’t have the time he needs to be trained, while we look for his owner and if he isn’t neutered, it doesn’t speak well of his owner at all. Plus he needed immediate vet care which I can’t do. But he was so beautiful and friendly, I couldn’t just leave him there at the side of the road.

If you scroll down you will see him at the bottom
