Good for you..I love stories like this....

In the mean time you might consider boiling a chicken breast and rice for her (I did mine in salt-less chicken stock). Even if she is overweight it is important she eat for her recovery period. You will have plenty of time to work on her weight issues.

She has been through a lot and has changed at least 3 places lately so she is a little frightened and very unsure what is happening to her. Many times they will be picky eaters and you probably don't know what she ate at her original owners home so she just might not like what you are trying to feed her. My guess is it was not a good food quality based on her weight or they feed her anything she wanted. Time, patience and love will turn her around and I know you are up for the challenge or you wouldn't have taken on a rescue.
