Denzel

Denzel just arrived at Rocky Ridge. He is in such a pathetic condition that it will be awhile until he is ready for a forever home. However it would be great if this beautiful, sweet, gentle boy had a family waiting for him when he is healthy.

He is a Great Dane. Victim of a divorce and then abandonment with some people who neglected and abused him. He is skin and bones, has both fresh and old bite wounds of unknown origin (most likely used as a bait dog for dog fights). He has a large hematoma on his ear that went unattended, an old fracture of the tail, and has both the current lacerations and old scars of a tight cable around his neck. One leg is swollen. Both legs are full of puncture wounds. He has a large open wound on his behind.

Despite his past ordeal, he is quickly responding to the love and attention he is receiving here at Rocky Ridge. He is learning to trust again.

We will have more photos, personality information, size and weight in a week or 2. We want to give him time to adjust before bombarding him with anything other then love and health care. He will be neutered once he is strong enough for the procedure.
