Hello, and welcome to Darwin’s Dream Dog Rescue!

We are dedicated to medically vulnerable puppies who deserve every chance to heal, thrive, and find their forever families. Our name and our mission is inspired by Darwin, the very first dog Darwin’s Dream Dog Rescue Co-founders adopted together.

At Darwin’s Dream Dog Rescue, we specialize in caring for puppies with medical needs.

We believe that every dog deserves a chance, and we do whatever we can to provide those chances.

Whether you’re here to adopt, donate, or simply learn more, thank you for joining us on this journey. Together, we can make a difference!

ACCEPTING APPLICATIONS - Chaucer

Name: Chaucer (formerly Chops)

DOB: ~ April 2025

Mixed Breed | Male

Chaucer’s story starts with heartbreak. He was abandoned at an emergency vet with a broken front right leg. Shortly after, he became sedate/ hyperesthetic/ hypothermic due to marijuana ingestion. But thanks to some amazing people, he received supportive care and his Salter-Harris fracture was repaired.

Unfortunately, during recheck X-rays it was discovered that his surgery worked a little too well and his radial growth plate closed. He now needs a leg amputation because his leg will never grow properly and will always cause him problems and pain.

He’s sweet, playful, and goofy.. He’s never met a stranger: humans and dogs alike!
