Chicken

Wednesday

Rescue-versary: August 13, 2022

Rescued from a backyard dog run where she was being raised to be eaten. After health issues forced her previous family to give her up, Wasatch Wanderers took her in and brought her to Sage Mountain. She's needed surgery for a severe foot infection and has recovered well. She wears shoes now to protect her fragile feet, which she takes great pride in.

Personality: Preciously sweet, and receiving the best care we can give her.
