Ready for her happily ever after: SPCA shares sweet Bobby update
The animal made headlines when a clip of her emaciated body went viral on a TikTok posted by Johannesburg content creator Sasha Tshiamo last month.
The influencer and the dog's owners are now facing charges of animal cruelty.
On their X account, the SPCA shared another heartwarming update about Bobby, who they had rescued from her cruel owners.
The animal activists posted pictures of the dog wearing a warm jacket and a bandana that read: 'I'm so adorable.'
'Bobby, the emaciated dog who broke hearts on X, is ready for her forever home! 🐾💙 She's healthy, happy, and full of love', the post read.
In an Instagram post, the SPCA posted a clip of Bobby happily playing in a garden.
'Bobby went from trending on X to rolling like a queen. She's ready for a life of luxury, so head on over to @spcaboksburg to meet this sassy single lady!'.
Individuals interested in adopting Bobby are invited to visit the SPCA in Boksburg. View this post on Instagram

Last month, a TikTok video of influencer Sasha Tshiamo quickly went viral.
While the content creator danced in the video, all eyes were on the emaciated dog in the background that had social media users up in arms.
The SPCA responded to the call to action, removing the dog – affectionately named Bobby – from its owner's care.
They said of 'Bobby': 'She is the most lovable dog, handing out kisses to everyone since the moment she arrived! Forced to eat plastic to survive, Bobby was found severely malnourished, suffering from fly strike, and covered in ticks and fleas'. The SPCA has shared a heartwarming update on rescue dog Bobby.

Sasha refused to take responsibility for the backlash to the video. In an Instagram Story, she posted, 'I don't know if I must laugh or cry, guys. That's not my dog.'
In her TikTok video, a follower asked her to feed the dog. She clapped back, 'It's not my responsibility.' @sashalee.tshiamo ♬ original sound – Chachamesa Canny
