In March of 2023, Dale was rescued alongside his bonded best friend, Daisy.

Daisy is deaf.
She depends on Dale every single day — to guide her, comfort her, and help her feel safe in a world she cannot hear.

Dale has never failed her.

He is the definition of “happy-go-lucky.”
Always ready for belly rubs.
Always chatting away, telling you just how grateful and joyful he is.
Always spreading sunshine wherever he goes.

Dale doesn’t just live… he loves life.

A few weeks ago, everything changed.

Dale suddenly stopped putting weight on his front leg. Treatment began immediately — pain medications, anti-inflammatories, and supportive care. When X-rays were taken, a terrifying discovery was made: a nodule in his lungs.

Every option was tried.
Steroids.
New medications.
Antibiotics.
More testing.
More hope.

Four long weeks passed while we fought alongside him, praying for improvement.

Instead, the next set of images brought devastating news.

His lungs were worse.
His elbow was worse.

Our hearts shattered.

Dale is now showing signs of an aggressive bone cancer that has spread to his lungs.

This sweet, gentle soul — who has only known love since his rescue — is now fighting for his life.

Giving up is not an option.

Not on Dale.
Not on his smile.
Not on his promise to always be there for Daisy.

He is scheduled for a joint tap and bone biopsy to gather critical information and guide the best possible path forward. These tests are urgent. Time is not on our side.

Every day matters.
Every prayer matters.
Every donation matters.

Right now, Dale still greets us with happy grunts.
He still asks for belly rubs.
He still checks on Daisy.
He still believes tomorrow will be good.

That faith deserves to be honored.

Support is needed now more than ever.

Donations will go directly toward:
Advanced diagnostics
Specialized veterinary care
Pain management
Life-saving treatment options

This care gives Dale the chance to keep loving.
This support helps Daisy stay beside her guide.
This kindness gives a beautiful soul every opportunity he deserves.

Please donate if you are able.
Please share if possible.
Please keep Dale in your prayers.

Together, we can show Dale that his story does not end here.
Together, we can fight for the pig who never stopped smiling. 💛🐷
