Adopt a Dream Dog
Because some puppies just need someone who says yes.
Our Philosophy
At Darwin’s Dream Dog Rescue, we believe in second chances — and that the best matches come from understanding, not judgment. Our adoption process is designed to be thoughtful, supportive, and transparent. We're here to help you find your new best friend while making sure our dogs find a home that truly fits.
Adoption Process
Apply to Adopt
Once you've found a puppy you connect with, fill out our adoption application form below. We review every application with care.
Chat With Us
We’ll reach out to talk more, answer your questions, and help ensure a great match. A virtual or in-person meet-and-greet may be arranged.
Final Steps
If approved, you’ll sign our adoption contract, pay the fee, and welcome your new puppy home! (We’ll always be just a message away.)
We Understand
We know that adoption isn't one-size-fits-all, and that life circumstances don’t always fit a perfect checklist. If you’re honest, committed, and ready to love one of our puppies, we’ll do everything we can to work with you. Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you have questions along the way.
Adoption Fees
Your adoption fee helps us cover the cost of vet care, vaccinations, microchips, food, and supplies. It allows us to keep saving lives.
Puppies under 6 months: $500
Puppies 6+ months: $450
Special adoptions: Sliding scale or waived depending on case.
All dogs are spayed/neutered, microchipped, and vaccinated prior to adoption.
