Day 211:

Maddox saved another baby and it truly is a story about team work and how the stars were completely aligned & everything worked together when it is supposed to.. I wanted to share because it gives me so much hope that everything will come together when it is supposed to when it is time for Maddox to come home..

Lots ask about sightings.. We are still getting calls and this story is one of the calls we received last week....

You may remember that I mentioned last week that we had found a baby and were looking for his owners and later on I mentioned he was sick. I just wanted to tell you more about him. It so happened that he got scared and bit the girl who called us about him. A Team Maddox member (Stephanie) and the caller were able to capture him and then we took him to the Vet to keep him safe while we tried to find his family. We knew his family had to be missing him! He is adorable and a sweet-heart!!!! A couple days after being at the vet, he started crashing. He could not stand and would not eat anything. We had him on IV's and were doing everything we could for him.

After several tests, we found out the poor baby had prostate cancer and was really sick. =''(( He still had his "jewels" and we knew the best way to treat him was to remove them. We had to wait though until he was strong enough and had to wait a certain number of days since we technically needed his families permission. Obviously if it was a life or death situation we would of just done it.. But luckily after a few days another Team Maddox member (Vivian) had a customer at the bank who saw her Maddox poster and told her that a friend's baby went missing on Tues July 16th during the storms. His name was Black, 7 years old, 10 lbs, ears straight up, docked tail, no chip. He was wearing a silver chain collar. Vivian promised we would keep an eye out and posted on our private group page. Immediately we all knew it had to be "Rascal"! Team Maddox named him "Rascal" because of his cute little personality..

This is such a great story and gives me chills.. All the stars aligned when we needed them to and everything worked out and it is a very happy ending!! Maddox truly saved him with Team Maddox working together for Black's best interest!!! That is one of the things I am so proud of is every Team Maddox member has the babies best interest at heart and will do anything to make sure these babies are safe.. I think we all need to align and start our own rescue or company or something.. ;))

Black might not be alive if we didn't find him. First, we got the sighting call since our signs are everywhere for Maddox, then Team Maddox and the caller were able to lure him and capture him, then a Team Maddox member helped us to get him to a Vet and take care of him, then another completely different team Maddox member was at the right place at the right time and is always talking about Maddox to find his Mommy.... Just think if the friend of the mommy didn't' go into he bank or the caller didn't call or if someone else would of found him.... But we do not have to think about all that because he is safe now!! And tonight he is sleeping in his own bed with his Mommy with his "jewels' removed & hopefully cancer free!!! We love you Black (aka Rascal) !!! Pray he is healed!!!

BIG THANKS to Team Maddox members that helped with saving Black! Toby, Stephanie, Jenni, Brenda, Vivian.. xooxoxo
