Murphy's Story

Murphy came to us from a local animal control due to the sudden and terrible passing of his dad. He was so upset he was lashing out at everyone. He was a scared little guy. He wants everyone to think he is a big mean dog...when in all actuality he is a sweet loveable little guy with a huge need for attention. He is best being an only dog, but has been ok with several others here as long as they have enough room to give each other space. He doesn't mind cats. He will need someone that understands small dog scare tactics :) He was adopted several years ago and returned due to his adopter being unable to care for him any longer. He is now a toothless semi senior guy looking for his perfect retirement home.

Bishop's Small Dog Rescue, Inc. NFP's Adoption Policy
We do require an adoption application to be filled out with references and a home visit. After approved for adoption you will be allowed to pick your new furry family member. We also require a contract to be signed at the time of adoption and that does state if the adoption were to not work out the furry family member is to be returned to our shelter.  The price to adopt a furry friend varies according to the cost of vetting the animal fully. At this time dogs between 2-7 years are $400.00 adoption donation and puppies under a year old are $450.00. Dogs 8+ are $200.00 to $350.00 +/- depending on age and if there are any known special health issues. At times we may have dogs that have sponsored (paid for in full or part) by a donor. If so we will let you know that at the time of inquiry. WE DO NOT HAVE OPEN HOURS... WE ARE FOSTER BASED AND THEREFORE MANY OF OUR DOGS OUR IN OUR HOMES. PLEASE BE COURTEOUS ABOUT THE HOUR YOU ARE CALLING AND IF NO ANSWER LEAVE A MESSAGE. THE BEST WAY TO REACH US IS EMAIL at bishopssmalldogrescue@hotmail.com or on Facebook through a message there.
