Babies SAVED



I have been sharing other lost babies in Oklahoma City recently... So many Min Pins keep getting lost and it breaks my heart.. I have an album so I can keep track of them all and I just want to do what I can to help them find their families.. I don't' want their babies to be gone as long as my Maddox has.. ='''(((

Some good news.. Thanks to my Craigslist posts there will be a Blog written to share Maddox's story on a Min Pin blog (www.minpinmania.org). There will actually be one on Monday and another one after that.. ;))

I broke up some of the babies Maddox has saved into groups and so today wanted to share 8 more!!!! I like to share all these and the stories because it makes me smile.. Since Maddox has been lost has been one of the most difficult times in my entire life but I have always been a believer that everything happens for a reason.. sometimes it doesn't make sense but I know God is listening and God placed Maddox on Earth and gave him to me because he knew how special he was. And I have to believe God knew that I would never turn my back on babies that need to be saved.. He knows how much I have and will always love fur-babies! I get that from my Mom.. ;))

Elvis: Elvis is so special. We found him in let's just say a very rough neighborhood. I found him and figured out this poor little guy was abandoned and he was waiting for his family to come back and get him. He was livid on his own in a patio with a bunch of junk they left behind. When I found him I started feeding him every day.. He never let me get close.. After some investigative work, we figured out he had been living there for 3 months!!! Elvis showed me that Min Pins are very smart and tough and survivors!!! And he also showed me how loyal they are to their family.. He waited for his family for 3 months and they never came back.. I can't even believe nobody tried to help him before me.. I literally watched someone walk right by him as he sat there by himself. I would never do that!! I am a person that I flip u-turns, I always make sure if there is a dog that they have a human with them.. if not I am going to help them! So I did help Elvis! He is now with his new family and is spoiled and loved like he deserves!! ;))

Mercedes & Yeager: These two are brother & sister..The week after I had to leave Oklahoma I got a call about Mercedes.. The Amazing Team Maddox camped out and they found this sweet girl the next morning with her friend.. They were both captured and then taken care of by team Maddox until we found their Mommy.. And luckily this time we did find their Mommy and so they are at home where they belong!

Luigi: This sweet baby was my easiest capture ever! I got a call thinking he was Maddox.. He doesn't look anything like Maddox but I found him and he was laying there by a dumpster.. =(( He seemed like he had a hurt let and was very dirty and thin.. I went right to him sat by him and he was so friendly I literally just picked him up and put him in my car..  I took him to two vets to get him scanned and no chip.. He layed down immediately and took a nap in my car. Sweetest baby ever!! Tried to find his family with no luck and then a rescue took him and he is now with his new family!!

Rascal: This baby was found when we got a sighting call. It is a long story but he was captured and then we took him to the Vet while we tried to find his family. Luckily we captured him when did because a few days after he was at the Vet he got really sick.. We found out he had cancer.. He was not yet neutered.. We were going to do everything we could to save him and then a miracle happened. A team Maddox member was talking to someone where she worked at the bank about Maddox. They randomly told her that their friend had just lost their Min Pin and guess who their Min Pin was!! It was Rascal!! So we found his family and then his family was able to get help to get him neutered to remove the cancer.... Last I heard he is doing good and with his family.. I always think about him because so many different pieces had to fall together perfectly to save his life and they did! God does answer prayers!!

Tiny: This crazy guy was roaming all round Penn Square Mall. I got a million calls about him.. All calls said he was running around with a leash attached to him! I knew he was not Maddox but I also cold not just leave him out there so Joanna and I decided to go look for him.. We found him and oh geez, he was running all over hte place and didn't care about treats, he didn't care about anything. he looked at us like crazy people and would just run off.. I was like Joanna how in the world are we going to catch him! A guy helped us catch him with his female dog..  And then he handed him to me and I ended up getting bit in the lip but it was worth it to save this baby!! He is so cute!! I was not so cute with my fat lip for a week but anything to save a baby..  And we found his Daddy by getting their information from his rabies tag at the vet. 

Izzy: This baby girl was another one that we found roaming.. She actually had a collar with tags.. She wouldn't let me catch her but I gave her lots of snacks and was able to get close enough to look at her tag and call her Daddy! Debbie and I ended up sitting with her and just watching her until her Daddy got home.. As soon as he did she ran home.. We were lucky to get the call because her Daddy was at work and had no idea she had gotten out.. 

Mollie: No, she is not a min pin...but this sweet girl was saved and has her forever home because of Maddox!!! She is brown and black and her Mommy kept seeing her and had to save her! She is the love of her Mommy's life and will have been at her new home for a year on March 1st! ;))

Babies SAVED



And the list of babies saved by Maddox continues... 

I picked these 8 to share today because these are babies that I have fostered, transported, or now are my baby girls.. Even though I could only keep a couple of these babies I can honestly say I am totally madly in LOVE with all of these precious ones.. 

Bliss: Well you all know about her.. She was my first rescue.. I believe God sent her to me. She is my sweet baby girl.. 

Roxy: This sweet girl was saved from a high kill shelter in California. I saw her on FB and saw that all she needed was a foster. Her family dumped her at the shelter on her 10th birthday!!! =(( I have never officially fostered but her face melted my heart.. I picked her up all the way in Long Beach.. I think it took me 3 hours and not joking to get her.. I picked her up and it was immediately love at first sight! She stayed with us for over a month.. She is now with her East Coast Mommy in Washington DC and I will forever be her West Coast Mommy.. I love her and miss her so much!!! Taking her to the airport was one of the hardest things I have ever done..

Sam aka Loki: This precious and crazy little boy was one I personally saved on my own from the streets in Oklahoma City. It was one Friday night I got a sighting call in a not so great part of town and of course I went there.. I couldn't find him at first and then I saw him.. A nice guy helped me catch him.. I put up signs, posted him everywhere, and could not find his family.. He stayed at my house for a week while I found a rescue to take him.. I seriously LOVE him so much!! The day I gave him to the rescue was one of the hardest things I have ever done.. He slept with me, he slept in my suitcase.. This was early on when I was searching for Maddox and I guess in a way he really did comfort me that week.. He gave me something to be happy about.. My father in law taught him to howl with him.. LOL He was such a crazy little guy and a major handfu!! I don't know where he is now.. He was adopted from rescue and then later ended up at shelter again and adopted again.. I just pray he is safe and loved and spoiled like he deserves.. I do worry about him..

Brownie & Rockey: These two little ones were saved the same day from a high kill shelter in Carson. I picked them both up at the same time. Both were supposed to be fosters but as we all know Brownie is still with me and my other sweet little girl. Rockey is with his forever home in Arizona. He was only with me a week but I still think of him often..

Harley: Oh Harley.. Harley is one all I did was transport from a shelter in the valley to orange county.. He was at my house for only a few hours and I can't explain how much I love him!! I honestly wanted to keep him.. Even Brandon wanted to keep him but we knew we couldn't..=(( At the time I transported him, I still had Roxy and I never intended on having 3 babies... Brownie is our accident.. Harley found his forever home and I am very happy for him!! I still wish his forever home was at my house though.. =(((

Lois & Clarke: These two precious ones, I also transported.. They were feral when they were found as little babies. Brother & Sister.. They were so scared and latched on to each other.. I was so happy we were able to save them from the shelter! Both are with their forever homes..

Each of these little ones have huge paw prints on my heart whether they are with our without me.. I would do anything for all of them and I know Maddox is happy they are safe!!! ;))))

Babies SAVED



I was just thinking alot today about all the babies Maddox has saved since he went missing... I picked 8 to share the other day so today wanted to share 8 more.. I will probably keep doing this until I run out of room. I have ALL babies saved on my website.. But I picked these for various reasons..

First of all one I realized I found a year ago on January 26th.. Her name is Maddee.. She obviously is very different than all the others BUT she holds such a special place in my heart.. This sweet girl was roaming when I was posting Maddox flyers. She ran right past me and of course I wasn't going to leave her.. She was actually really easy to catch and I put her in my car.. She stayed with me one night and then she led me to one of my new best friends in the entire world.. @Stephanie Sessions.. I didnt' know what to do but I knew I wasn't going to take Maddee to the shelter so I plead for help and Stephanie reached out and said she would help me.. I had never met Stephanie but when I talked to her and then met her.. I just knew she was special.. Stephanie took care of Maddee and they were instant BFF's! Maddee went everywhere with Stephanie.. Unfortunately she crossed the rainbow bridge a few months later but gosh I loved that girl so much!!! I miss her and think of her every single day..

Then there is Jack and Mustang who have both also crossed the rainbow bridge.. Both of these little ones were left at the shelter to die.. They both were sick but we got both of them out of the shelter to live their lives loved.. Jack had parvo & we did everything we could for him thanks to my other new best friend @Donna Badger.. She helped me save him and we we both beyond devastated when he didn't make it.. And then Mustang.. His story is more sad.. He was saved from the shelter and then sent off to a rescue and when someone local in Oklahoma City finally got him back he was in bad shape.. His story hurts my heart also but I am glad another friend was able to love him his last few days.. ='''(((((
