Hello to all of you!
I ended up saving a African spurred Tortoise on July 4th. :) Someone had left him in a plastic mail bin beside some drop-off boxes near the place I work at.
With a note attached leading me to believe that a domestic spat brought this animal cruelty. :(
At first I thought he was just a local box turtle, but nothing matched his type. :confused:
Everyone at work started calling him Spike and it sounded cool to me, so that is who he is now! ;)
They are the third largest species of tortoise on earth. :eek:
We plan on keeping him depending on where we end up moving to this summer.
Here are some pictures of him with my daughter Daytona and one of our cats Ashez.

I do plan on entering him in "the Pet of the Day" soon. :cool:
