From time to time an animal arrives at the ranch in need of
extra care.  All get the help they need and are now part of
a loving family.  Sometimes one will get a forever home
here at the ranch and we may have an "in progress" rehab
that will be looking for a new home soon.

Meet "Hunter".  On a cold late fall day I found this poor guy curled up at my front gate.  He was skinny as you can
see in his before photo and scared to death.  After an evaluation by the vet it was determined that he was fairly
healthy considering and heartworm free.  Once Hunter had gained some weight he was off to the vet to be
neutered.  He turned out to be a really great dog and quite handsome.  Hunter has been in his new home not
quite a year now and I've gotten rave reviews from his new family.  His new family includes a 4 year old boy and a
min schnauzer.  As you can see in the after picture life seems to be treating him well.  A big thank you to my
Giant Schnauzer friends for assistance with is vet bills.
Meet "Okie".  This great looking border
collie showed up at my Mother's new
house.  He was waiting in the yard when
she arrived with the moving van.  He
looked well cared for but had no
identification on his collar.  No one
responded to our effort to locate an owner
and he settled in as temporary guest.  
Already neutered when he arrived Okie
just needed his vaccines updated and
some flea and tick prevention.
He has been re-homed to live with a retired
age but active gentleman who lives on a
small ranch where Okie gets to ride
shotgun in the truck.



This is "Mable"  this grand old girl met me
in the street one day while I was turning
into the ranch driveway.  Great Dane but
maybe not purebred she was thin and had
sores on her feet.  Neighbors said she had
been on the other end of the road ( a mile
or 2 away) for about a week.  Once again
efforts to locate an owner failed.  Sweet as
could be this old girl deserved better than
being dumped on the side of the road.  Vet
thought she was 7 or 8...Old in Great Dane
years.  She found a great home with a
young newly married couple.  The
husband was raised with Great Danes and
Mable is a great first dog for this young
couple.


Next we have "Mattie"  This baby of
unknown breeding  was about 12 weeks
old when she ran out in front of my truck.  I
nearly hit her as did the semi going the
other way.  She was so scared she
hunkered down in the tall grass beside the
road.  Before she could figure out what to
do I scooped her up...all 8 lbs of her.  She
was in good weight but covered in fleas
and ticks.  She went immediately to the vet
where it was determined she had a jaw
fracture and was treated for fleas, ticks
and internal parasites.  Thankfully the jaw
fracture was stable and did not require
surgery.  Here at the ranch she blossomed
into an outgoing and fun little dog.  She
has a forever home here and Griffin my
Giant Schnauzer adores her.
Mattie is almost a year old now and has
grown to just shy of 30 lbs and has been
spayed.
