PLEASE READ ENTIRE POST

AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION - MURPHY

BREED - Miniature Poodle
SIZE - About 20 pounds
AGE - 10+ years
GENDER - Male
MEDICAL CONCERNS - None known
BEHAVIOR CONCERNS - None known
SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS - Murphy is a wonderful little dog seeking the companionship of a loving adopter. Originally adopted from our rescue in 2021, Murphy has come back to us after his adopter passed away. He is very sad and wants to be a part of a loving home. By nature Murphy is a quiet and clean little fellow. He is partial to females but connects well to males of his choice. He would be happy beside his special person enjoying a quiet life. Murphy is a good bit overweight now and we are working to bring his weight down. Doing so will allow him to be more active and maintain his health. He has visited our vet and there are no concerns. Murphy is neutered, microchipped, and fully vaccinated. He tested negative for heart worms and is on prevention. We are seeking a home with an adopter able to work from home or be at home the majority of the day to spend time with him. A home without larger pets or small children, and with a fenced, secure yard will be in Murphy's best interest. He will make a wonderful companion for a senior person who is able to care for him independently.

Our adoption process starts with your email to carerescue@aol.com or Adopt a Pet inquiry. After we receive it, we will email you our prescreening questionnaire. Your answers will help us determine that your home and lifestyle matches the needs of Murphy and our adoption criteria. Once determined, we will set up a private meeting with you and your family to meet Murphy at a park near our private kennel just east of Richmond. After meeting him and determining that he matches your preferences for a pet, we will accept your application. A home visit by one of our trained volunteers is required for all adoptions, and we will speak with your vet to ensure that you are a responsible pet owner. More information on our website at www.carerva.com.
