Meet Rhonda!
13-year-old Rhonda originally came to us from San Diego Humane Society-Escondido in May 2020. She lived in a foster home, where we learned that she was a cuddly couch potato who enjoyed trips to the beach, was great with the other dogs in the house, and loved mealtime. With rave reviews from her foster family, it was no surprise that Rhonda was adopted that August.
Sadly, Rhonda was recently returned to us after her mom passed away. This poor little girl is really struggling after losing her person and her home. Rhonda has weakness in her back legs, and we have fitted her with a set of wheels. As you can see in the video, she cruises right along!
Fortunately, a volunteer scooped up Rhonda for a two-week Frosted Fling to give her extra TLC in a calm home environment. We received a great update from Rhonda's Fling Mom: "Rhonda's favorite place is my lap or arms being held like a baby, and you won't hear me complain because those big brown eyes have my heart. She has taken a while to settle in, and that's ok. Losing her mama and returning to Frosted Faces are some big changes, and that takes some time to process.
Rhonda
has a good appetite but is a grazer and eats here and there. Her walking has improved leaps and bounds. We do physical therapy walking every morning and use her wheelchair to help strengthen her legs and work on her balance.
Rhonda is a very sweet and mellow dog. I've never heard her whine or bark. She is content to be cuddled and has started to seek me out for affection or to be held. Her tail has also started to wiggle when I hold her."
Check back soon for the next update on how Rhonda is doing!
