Cleo the Fat Pug


 
Been trying to get some pictures of dogs that you generally don't get to see.... And so I would like to introduce Cleo.
Miss Cleo was abandoned at Purcell Animal Welfare, and Purcell called us to come get her and Harry Houndini.
Miss Cleo... is an absolute love, who is still learning that she can ask for attention.
She's also massively obese. She came into the Sanctuary at 33 pounds and has lost 6 pounds so far. We've been careful about cutting back on her food as she has some food anxiety and we don't want her to feel too deprived.
She also has neurological issues that impact her rear end, causing her to have some difficulty walking. It doesn't slow her down much and as she loses weight she's getting more mobile. She will always have trouble walking and some day may need a cart.
And last but not least she has a potential mass. It may be a fatty tumor or it may just be a fat mass due to the massive obesity. Once she's trimmed down a bit more we will evaluate the mass and take any necessary action.
