Murphy's Story

IF YOU ARE VIEWING THIS LISTING ON PETFINDER OR ADOPT-A-PET, please visit www.caninesandkittiesrescue.org to access adoption requirements, more information and pictures.<br/><br/>Mable's puppies were born around 10/15/2025 and are currently being fostered in a loving home with their 20-lb mother. Their exact adult size is unknown since the father isn't known, and breed is an educated guess based on appearance. Because they are very young, adopters must be home for a good portion of the day to continue their training.<br/><br/>Each puppy is up to date on age-appropriate vaccines, microchipped, and will need to be spayed/neutered at 6 months.<br/><br/>Adoption fee: $400, plus a $100 refundable spay/neuter deposit.<br/><br/>For health and safety, these puppies cannot live in apartments/condos or homes without a private fenced yard and cannot visit public places (PetSmart, Petco, dog parks, etc.) until 16 weeks old due to an underdeveloped immune system.<br/><br/>**Adopters must be at least 25 years old.**<br/><br/>The adoption fee for this dog is $400, which helps with the cost of routine vet care. This fee DOES NOT INCLUDE spay/neuter if the pup is not already spayed/neutered. If the animal you are adopting is not already spayed/neutered, you will be required to sign a contract legally obligating you to have the animal altered. A $100.00 fee will be returned to the adopter once the animal has been sterilized. We will provide information on this process during the approval process.<br/><br/>***Note that puppy adoption fees most often help generate revenue that goes towards older, special needs animals that need our help. Surgeries, heartworm treatment, boarding costs and/or all things that often result in adoptable dogs and cats being left behind to be euthanized. So, adopting a puppy saves not just one life, but many!<br/><br/>***Please note that our first step in approving adoption applicants is to complete a vet check. Vetting of current and past pets is very important to us, thus we will be speaking with the vet(s) listed on your application to ensure that your current and previous pet(s) are kept up to date on vaccines (including rabies), spayed or neutered, maintained on appropriate monthly preventatives and examined annually by your vet.***<br/><br/>Our organization cannot guarantee the exact breed of any animal in our care. The breed listed is based on any background we may have been provided, and/or the general appearance of the animal.<br/><br/>**Please visit www.caninesandkittiesrescue.org to complete our non-binding application.**
