Two plus-size orphan pets seek forever homes and fitness goals

Print
Two orphan pets have arrived at Helen Woodward Animal Center and the pair are making a major impression. The 5-year-old Collie/Corgi blend named Nalani and the 5-year-old domestic shorthair cat named Sebastian are both nearly twice their ideal weight. Both were found wandering the streets in different areas of Southern California and both arrived via rescue partners. Now the Center hopes to find each of them a new home and a new fitness routine that will bring them health and happiness.
It cannot be argued that Nalani and Sebastian are bigtime adorable with loving personalities to match. Their extreme size, however, is causing both orphan pets severe discomfort. Nalani arrived weighing in at 74 pounds and Sebastian boasted a weight of 25 pounds. How they got to these sizes, which nearly doubles their ideal poundage, is a mystery but the challenges they are facing are evident. Neither one can move comfortably, get up easily, walk for long distances, or even climb stairs. Nalani has such a challenge walking, she is often moved via cart to get her to important medical appointments.
