Description:
Bitsy is about 7 years old, very sweet, but also obese. Bitsy weighs about 19 pounds and realistically should be closer to or 10. Her former owner is in the later stages of Alzheimers, and we received her after she'd been fed human food,and too much of it. Needless to say that didn't help with Bitsy's formerly good house training skills either. Food in all day = poop out all day. Bitsy's temporary home with the owner's children helped- she had been even heavier, and she's lost some weight. She has also started back into scheduled feedings and regular breaks outside with positive reinforcement for potty training. We took care of getting her vetting up to date, including a dental, and also verified that she is heartworm negative (whew!).  At this point, Bitsy needs a forever home where she will be loved and brought back to a healthy size over an extended period of time. She's cute even at this size, but she will be a precious little lady once she's back in shape.
