Hi everyone,

I’m reaching out with a heavy heart to ask for your help. My sweet dog, Dakota, who is only 4 years old, has been diagnosed with a tumor that needs to be removed as soon as possible. The surgery is scheduled for next week, and without it, he could be in serious danger.

Dakota isn’t just a dog — he is family, our first baby. The kind of soul who greets you at the door no matter how hard your day was, who curls up beside you when you’re down, and who brings light into every room. It’s heartbreaking to see him in pain, and I want to give him the fighting chance he deserves.

The estimated cost for the surgery, tests, and post-op care is between $6,000 and $8,000 — something I can’t manage alone. If you’re able to contribute, no matter the amount, it would mean the world to us. And even if you can’t donate, just sharing this page helps more than you know.

Thank you for reading, for caring, and for being part of Dakota’s support team.

With love and gratitude,

Anne&Shaun
