Cheer on Fluffy to Lose 20 lbs!: Meet Fluffy

Speechless...has been the response of most people when viewing Fluffy Pork Chop's photo. Sadly, Fluffy could be the poster boy for overfeeding and treats "gone wild!"

Fluffy is currently classified as morbidly obese and came in weighing a whopping 42 pounds. His health situation is extremely dire because of his excess weight.

He has high blood pressure, a bad tooth, and two cherry eyes which will need to be surgically repaired. At this point, he is not able to undergo anesthesia because of his extreme weight.

His ideal body size should be around 22 pounds and he needs an adopter who is committed to helping him loose the excess weight. He needs several short slow strolling walks daily that will increase in frequency and intensity as his energy level increases and waistline decreases.

He also requires a very strict low calorie diet and an adopter immune to those begging "feed me" eyes.

It's safe to say that this turn of events probably saved Fluffy's life. If you are interested in meeting Fluffy, click here to get in touch with his foster.
