#10 "ELVIS"

After our confirmed Hobby Lobby sighting of Maddox, we were searching the area and Shad found a little Min Pin at Tuscany Village Apartments. We thought he lived there so we felt okay leaving him. We got a call the same night of another possible sighting of Maddox, we rushed over to find out it was the same little Min Pin from earlier. It was dark, so we decided to come back the next morning to see if he lived there or what was going on. After going by every day and leaving food and asking everyone we could, we found out he had been living on the balcony of some vacant apartments and had been abandoned there since September! Because he was so smart and had learned to live without the help of people, we knew right then we would have to capture him. So armed with a fresh rotisserie chicken we placed it in the trap. It was a couple of entertaining hours as he tried to figure out how he could get that chicken. He wanted it so bad, he would sit by the trap and try to investigate it. He would go to the end of the trap and see if there was a way for him to get it without going into the trap. You could see him thinking as he laid next to the trap, I want that chicken, I want that chicken. Finally he decided to run for it and he was trapped. Elvis was only a year old when we found him, poor guy had been living on his own for six months. I’m happy to report, today he has found his forever home.
