Murphy's Story

MEET MURPHY! THIRD TIME'S THE CHARM? <br/><br/>Sometimes finding the perfect forever home takes a little trial and error. And in Murphy's case, we are really hoping the third time is the charm!<br/><br/>Our absolutely gorgeous, 2-year-old black and white parti Standard Poodle is back with Fairy Dogmother Rescue after his second adoption. And before anyone jumps to conclusions, Murphy really didn't do anything wrong!<br/><br/>In fact, his most recent adopters described him as near perfect! <br/><br/>So what happened?<br/><br/>Well, we have learned something very important about Murphy. This handsome boy finds cats FASCINATING. Not just cats living inside the house, but even the neighborhood cats who like to lounge on the front porch. Murphy is just a little too interested in his feline friends, and we have decided that his forever home needs to be completely cat-free.<br/><br/>Sometimes rescue is about learning what a dog needs to be successful, and we would much rather figure that out now than set Murphy up for another disappointment.<br/><br/>Now, let's talk about all the things that make Murphy such a wonderful dog!<br/><br/> 2 years old and approximately 45 pounds<br/><br/> Absolutely gorgeous black and white parti Standard Poodle<br/><br/> Loves other dogs and enjoys having canine friends<br/><br/> Wonderful with older, calm children<br/><br/> Potty trained and kennel trained<br/><br/> Loves toys, playing, and having fun<br/><br/> Excellent car rider and ready for adventures<br/><br/> Affectionate, social, and loves being part of a family<br/><br/> Happily sleeps in his kennel at night, which we affectionately call his little dog man cave!<br/><br/>Murphy originally came into rescue after being found on hunting land, where it appeared he had been surviving on his own for quite some time. Since then, he has discovered just how wonderful life can be when you have a family, a warm bed, toys, and people who love you.<br/><br/>And he LOVES being somebody's dog!<br/><br/>Here's the thing about Murphy. He isn't a problem dog. He is a wonderful dog who simply needs the right home.<br/><br/>We are looking for a family who appreciates the personality, intelligence, and energy of a Standard Poodle, enjoys having a playful companion, and most importantly, does not have cats.<br/><br/>Murphy has already had two chances at forever that didn't work out. We would really love for his next family to be the one that sticks.<br/><br/> Adoption Fee: $235<br/><br/> Apply at FairyDogmotherRescue.com and follow the instructions to copy, paste, and email your adoption application.<br/><br/>Please SHARE Murphy! Somewhere out there is a family with no cats, plenty of love, and a spot on the couch for a gorgeous Standard Poodle who is ready to finally unpack his bags for good.<br/><br/> BE THE MAGIC. <br/><br/> Fairy Dogmother Rescue
