Her Life in Captivity
Shelia had spent the majority of her life in captivity at the entertainment center located in Texas. She had been forced to perform since she was a little cub. She first appeared in photoshoots and was treated as a pet before being forced into the entertainment industry.
Her Health Issues
After being rescued, it was clear that she was suffering from a coordination problem. Soon enough, she was struggling to stand up on her own. The weakening of her muscles caused this. It was so bad that she could barely lift her head to drink water or eat.
