We take the naming of our danes very seriously around here. Naming rights are given to the volunteer who picks the dog up from the kill shelter and escorts it to one of our rescue vets. Shelter-to-vet transports are tough because you never know what you are going to get: a crazy, bucking bronco of a dane; a dirty, filthy, stinky, vomiting dane; a dane that looks as if it is ready to give birth…and then does…in the backseat of an SUV doing 70MPH down a highway; a dane with bleeding tumors or open sores - almost all are covered in fleas and almost all are a mess.
