Darwin is a 3-year-old Lab Mix in APPLEGATE, MI, who needs $2,000 for Cruciate Repair.

Darwin was gifted/rescued when he was just 5 weeks old. He was a very sickly little pup who was in need of some TLC. He thrived in the family and was very healthy until this year when he injured both of his cruciates.

Darwin is out constant companion who is never far away. Whole he favors his dad and insists on being either dad or mom's personal weighted blanket nightly he is also a constant playmate and protector to his 2 boys. He is a very loved member of the family.

Darwin was blessed with the goofiest puppy dog face and calm demeanor. He knows just how to communicate with a head tilt or grubble to let you know just what is on his mind.

We are looking for assistance in getting Darwin's cruciate surgery. A vet has yet to be determined to do the surgery. However Burtchville Vet Clinic has diagnosed both of his injured cruciates and determined they are in need of surgical repair.

Darwin has always had a sad puppy face that gets him what he wants lol however, lately you can tell that he is in pain and he is no longer the playful puppy he once was. He no longer enjoys playing with his kids or his other fur siblings.
