Skiatook Paws and Claws gains attention after rescuing obese chihuahua
TULSA, Okla. (KTUL) — Skiatook Paws and Claws Animal Rescue is making the best of a sad situation after it rescued a severely overweight chihuahua from a hoarding house.
Mega Marshmallow, or @marshmallowbeeating on Instagram, was 16.4 pounds at her first weigh in and had never been outside.
Skiatook Paws and Claws, along with Marshmallow's foster Welcome To Fosterland, made an Instagram page to document her weight loss. In just over two weeks, the Instagram page has amassed 21,000 followers.
Since her rescue, Paws and Claws says Marshmallow has lost over a pound and has brightened up significantly.
The organization hopes to bring attention to the work rescuers and fosters do through Marshmallow's Instagram page.
