Meet Rosemary, a 3-year Chihuahua dog who was morbidly obese and at a risk for health problems. Her weight was four times heavier than any regular Chihuahua’s. Sadly, instead of helping her lose weight, her owner surrendered her to a shelter and requested to put her down. However, the shelter staff refused to do that. They decided to help her get back to a healthy body and find her a new home.

“The owner surrendered to a shelter, requested and signed papers to euthanize. The shelter staff quickly decided that was not the route they wanted to go on this morbidly obese Chihuahua who is only three years young,” Humane Society of Northwest Louisiana shared.

Due to being too fat, the poor girl was slow to get down and up. She got tired quickly and was less likely to play. She just walked 10 steps before getting tired and out of breath. At her heaviest stage, Rosemary was on medications for seizures. Although she wouldn’t have lived a long life, the staff tried their best to help her live life to the fullest.
