Chyna

Chyna was with our rescue 7 years ago when we were told she was 4 yrs of age by an owner. We are not sure which breed she is. the owner at that time told us maltipoo. Her hair was long and matted and you can see from pictures how she looked.

We received a call recently that Chyna was in the shelter after APS showed up and took all of the dogs. There seems to have been a medical emergency with the owner. After a ten day hold, we were able to reclaim her. The owner is no longer in the picture.

Chyna now is morbidly obese. We really hate it when people let their dogs go and give them treat after treat and food food food. It shortens their lifespan and quality of life. Chyna pants a lot as she is struggling to breathe under the weight. She is now twice the weight she was previously. She was 16 pounds then and is now 32 pounds. We put her on a diet.

Regardless of size, she continues to be a well balanced and affectionate dog. She is very nice and she is great...
