Dakota will never know the joy of a “real” adoption — but he is still counting on your love! Especially while he recovers from a rare infection that turned his carefree, playful life upside down. 

Pythiosis, known as “swamp cancer,” can infect small cuts or scrapes and, rather than healing, they grow larger and fester. Untreated, the infection can spread to ligaments, tendons and bone... and often results in death.

After many lengthy hospital stays, Dakota is finally on his way back to health, but he needs friends like you by his side!  Miracle Ranch is Dakota’s forever home. Will you sponsor this beautiful boy and stand by his side
