When Kristina Rinaldi, executive director of Detroit Dog Rescue (DDR), went to collect 6 puppies from the animal control, she was shocked. They were pink and hairless, with painfull sores all over their body.
The doggies were found in an abandoned house in Detroit, Michigan
They were pink and hairless, with painful sores all over their body and had a very high fever
The reason why the doggies lost their fur was a skin disease called mange
“I’ve seen a lot of mange cases in my dog rescue career, but this was the worst mange I had ever seen”
“The veterinarian said, ‘We’re working against the impossible’”
They stayed at the care facility for about 12 weeks getting the right treatment
Meanwhile, staff members dressed them in baby onesies to help their skin heal
Soon they got their fur back and were ready to be adopted into loving forever homes and to be spoiled and adored
