(KNX 1070) -- Chloe, the abused dog found in a dumpster in Long Beach, is healing faster than anticipated and could be up for adoption soon.
Vets and those caring for the small 1-year- old Maltese-poodle-terrier mix say she's doing more than okay.
Diana Kliche with Fix Long Beach says Chloe has a checkup on Friday. When she was initially found, on the way to the emergency animal hospital it was believed she was not going to survive.
Kliche told the Los Angeles Times she thinks someone beat the dog, threw her into their kitchen trash can and disposed the bag in a dumpster behind apartments near the 1000 block of Walnut Avenue.
As Chloe continues to heal authorities are still searching for the person who left the small dog for dead in a trash bag in a dumpster late last year.
There's a more than $17,000 reward in the case.
