JC

JC was surrendered to the shelter as a euthanasia request because he was 9 yrs old, morbidly obese, and the owner lost her home and was going into an inpatient mental health facility. The shelter instead convinced the owner to surrender JC in hopes of finding a new home.

JC is 102 lbs 😲. The shelter says he is a sweet dog who really got the bad end of the deal. There was another dog in the home and the owner found a place for him to go, but no one wanted JC. 😢

He will need to go on a diet (obviously), possibly with help from a nutritionist to make sure loses weight in the most healthy way. We will also need to monitor him for other health issues, including any joint or bones issue due to his age and weight. So far, JC is a dog, cat and people friendly and loves his toys. He is not available to adopt at this time as he is currently in foster care helping him lose weight and get healthy again through a special, monitored diet and slow but steady exercise combined with vet check ups to make sure things are going well. Luckily, he is heartworm negative.

If you might be interested in adopting JC when he is available, you can get pre-approved now!
