Rhodie was suffering from severe allergies when she first arrived at the Humane Society of Pikes Peak Region (HSPPR). She was in a lot of pain because of them.
“Rhodie was missing fur around her eyes, ears, and paws, and her poor skin was bright red and very sensitive to touch,” HSPPR wrote on Facebook.

Rhodie’s rescuers knew she needed immediate assistance, so their veterinary team went to work. They gave her special baths every two weeks, applied ointment to her skin every day, and put her on medication.
They also prescribed her “a Hill’s Science Diet z/d dog food, which is formulated to help avoid adverse food reactions and promote healthy skin” the group wrote.
Within just a few days of being on this new medical plan, her rescuers immediately saw a significant improvement in her health. “The redness subsided, she was visibly much happier, and after each exam, she became more comfortable with handling,” they described.
Rhodie stayed with them for nearly a month and transformed them completely. HSPPR proudly displayed ho

And in even better news, Rhodie has been adopted. “[S]he trotted out of the shelter with a smiling snout, allergy medicine, and the cutest human by her side!”
It’s wonderful to see Rhodie feeling at ease in her own skin again. Her dedicated rescuers not only restored her health, but also gave her a new lease on life!
