Thaddeus the Badass...eus

Not all heroes wear capes. But some are 40 lb furry dudes named Thaddeus. Thaddeus = the best guard dog Just to set the scene: There she was, his foster, taking Thaddeus for a walk. When both of their spidey senses perked up as they felt they were being followed. She felt off, Thaddeus was acting weird. Something wasn’t right. There was a man close behind them, wearing an AT&T technician outfit. He passed them, then oddly, double backed and passed them again. Without any clear reason for being in the area. That’s when Thaddeus gave the alert to his foster: something isn’t cool about this guy dressed as an AT&T worker. Once the worker realized Thaddeus wasn’t letting anyone sketchy come near his foster mom, the worker quickly buzzed off. Here’s the thing, scams happen all the time. And people with malicious intentions will always find new ways to target others. Wether it be phone scams, phishing, digital theft or good old fashioned breaking and entering. Being out and about alone can make anyone a target. One of the newer scams on the block are people in fake AT&T outfits, or other technician looking outfits, claiming they need to either “check equipment” inside your home or around it. This is often used as a way to case the property and find ways to break in. Now back the Thaddeus! He has proven himself to be a natural protector with good instincts. Based on the information given to Weird Rescue by his foster mom, she felt 100% safer with Thaddeus by her side. An extra treat and belly rub for Thaddeus! He is still looking for his forever home to love and protect. Thaddeus is our hero. We swoon
