He was skin and bones when rescuers found him more than a month after Hurricane Dorian leveled the northern Bahamas, but now he’s found a home and loving family in Palm Beach County.
Named “Miracle,” the emaciated dog was trapped under an air conditioner and other debris from a collapsed building in Marsh Harbor Sept. 1. A drone with infrared technology helped a rescue team find him in the aftermath of the devastating hurricane and get him immediate medical treatment.
Big Dog Ranch Rescue in Loxahatchee received more than 10,000 adoption offers along with cards, gifts and photographs from as far away as England, Germany and Australia, said founder and president Lauree Simmons.
“Many suggested that we keep Miracle as a sort of mascot for the ranch, but that is not what we’re about," she said, in a statement. “Today Miracle will be going home with his new family.”
