Chloe, a severely-abused dog discovered tied up in a trash bag with a broken leg, will finally be up for adoption after months of rehabilitation.
The pup, who at this point is so well known that she has her own Facebook following and T-shirts bearing her likeness, was found near death Dec. 8 in a Long Beach trash bin.
She had a broken femur, skull and rib fractures, and bruising on most of her body, veterinarians said.
She was rescued by Diana Kliche, a board member for Fix Long Beach, after someone messaged her about a small pup who had been thrown in a dumpster.
The search for her abuser is still on, with a $20,000 reward offered to find the person responsible.
Staff at Long Beach Animal Emergency Hospital took Chloe under its wing, performing surgery on the broken leg, which one veterinarian had said was broken for at least two weeks before Chloe was rescued.
