An eight-year-old Staffie cross who weighed over six stone has had to lose half her body weight while in rescue at the RSPCA’s Crewe, Nantwich & District branch , in Cheshire. Roxanne arrived at the centre in October 2021 when her owner could no longer take care of her.
At the time, she tipped the scales at 38.5kg and could barely walk without getting out of breath. But now, she’s lost 17kg and has found a forever home.
In order to shed the weight, the team put Roxanne on a strict diet and started an exercise plan to gently improve her mobility and help her get healthier again.
