Meet Darcy

Darcy is a beautiful staffy/hound mix looking for a forever home. She has a very rare condition known as Hereditary methemoglobinemia. At this time little is known about this gene mutation and there is no long term treatment or cure. Our veterinarian believes she can live a relatively normal lifestyle with a family who understands she should be placed on treatment to manage her deficiency which we have begun, however this long term cost is unknown. She needs an adopter willing to go above and beyond for her as more research on her condition is done. Her current treatment plan is two pills a day and costs about $300 a month. She is much happier, has more stamina, and sleeps SO peacefully with her new medicine!! She doesn't need this medication to live, but her quality of life has drastically improved since being placed on it.

Darcy loves to run and play like the puppy she is, and deserves to be. She is having a hard time gaining and keeping weight, assuming from the disorder. Her coordination is not great and she always has her head cocked a bit, even while running, etc. She’s definitely different, no need to hide it. She’s just a little “off” but is the sweetest girl in the whole wide world. Darcy would absolutely do best with another dog that has patience for her. She needs to get to play, it’s what she lives for. She is in a home currently with older kids that understand she’s different, that she might jump up and scratch them or knock them down accidentally. She really LOVES kids and cuddling. She’s not really aware of her actions sometimes. She’s the happiest dog on earth and is thriving on the new medicine.

Please note: We do not have a physical facility and the dogs are not located in Hudson, NH. We are a foster-based rescue and dogs can be located anywhere in New England. All adopters must be pre-approved to arrange a meet and greet, and the adopter is expected to travel to the dog's location. We do not transport once the dogs arrive in New England. Applications must be submitted at HarveysHope.org for consideration. We estimate it will be 1-2 weeks before you hear from one of our volunteers. Thank you!
