If an abandoned dog is forced to live off garbage found on the streets, it has absolutely no chance of survival.
Many of them struggle every day to find a decent meal, but not much is being done to help them. But not everything is hopeless for them.
Every once in a while, a kind person will notice a dog in distress and call someone who can help. In this story, I will tell about a group of rescuers who, hearing a dog sitting near the railroad tracks, panicked and rushed to help.
Maverick Rescue

When rescuers finally found Maverick, they realized he was severely malnourished and needed food as soon as possible. When the rescuers came to get him, he only weighed 10 pounds and it was heartbreaking for everyone to realize that.
The rescue organization, Second Chance Rescue, decided to place him in a medical facility in Georgia. Because I thought it would give him the best chance of recovery. photo of a malnourished dog
When he was finally able to move, they noticed that his mood changed and he became much more outgoing.
The rescuers thought it would be best to put him in a foster home until he made a full recovery, which they did. A woman named Nicole answered the call and took Maverick to New York to meet his new adoptive parents.

Nicole told The Dodo: “When Maverick first arrived, we kind of didn’t know what to expect with his personality.”
So, they thought that the best idea was to take it slow and give him some time to adjust to being in this new environment.
They noticed right away just how happy he was to be with somebody who cared for him, and he was always ready to play.
He was also hungry often, and on his first meal, he ate it so fast that his foster parents had to buy a food puzzle to help him slow down.
Nicole continued by saying: “It was just incredible. He didn’t act like he had been through what he had been through.“
When it finally came time to say goodbye to Maverick after he had spent many days enjoying being with Nicole and her family, it was really difficult for them.
They found a new family for him, and Nicole just couldn’t help but cry at the thought that Maverick was going to leave.
It was a difficult decision, but ultimately, it was the best one for him and I am sure that he is having the time of his life with his new family in a forever home.
