Murtaugh's Story

Meet Murtaugh! A sweet, loyal boy looking for his forever person! Murtaugh is a 2 year old chihuahua mix. He loves to sleep on his dog bed, the recliner, or right in your bed — he's super cuddly and just wants to be near his person at all times. If he can see you or be next to you, he's happy. He needs someone who's home a lot. He's not super needy or destructive — he just wants to be your shadow or at least be able to keep an eye on you. Total velcro dog in the sweetest way. This guy is seriously the best. He's trained to sprint straight into his crate and wait patiently for a treat whenever Amazon shows up (or any other exciting moment). Super smart and adorable about it. He does best with no cats and no male or smaller dogs (under 30 lbs) . His current best friend is a female who's about 12 lbs bigger than him, and they get along great. If you're looking for daily motivation to get out and jog or walk, he's your perfect personal trainer! You will NOT miss a single day — he makes it fun and keeps you consistent. He's also great in the car and he has really come to love car rides. His foster family adores this boy so much and are constantly amazed by how devoted and loyal he is. He's got the biggest heart. The right person or family is going to get the most amazing, loyal, loving personal support dog ever. He just wants to be yours. Murtaugh is house trained, neutered, and up to date on vaccines. If Murtaugh could be the perfect addition to your home, please submit an adoption application on our websitre: furlovehaven.org ** Please understand that we are a volunteer-run organization and we do our best to respond in a timely manner.

Adopted animals must be cared for in a humane and responsible manner and provided with clean and appropriate shelter, food, water, exercise, companionship and veterinary care. Animal will be indoors and will not be chained/penned outside. FLH recommends that the adopter has a veterinarian examine their adopted animal within 15 days of adoption. Adopters can return their animal to FLH within 15 days of the date of the adoption and FLH will refund the entire adoption fee paid. The adoption fee is not refundable after 15 days from the date of the adoption agreement even if returned to FLH. The adopter will ensure the animal is up to date on vaccines and notify FLH of any behavioral problems that have occurred before an adopted animal is returned. At the time of adoption, the animal will have age appropriate core vaccinations unless an FLH veterinarian recommends delaying any vaccinations for health reasons. If vaccinations were not completed and were due prior to adoption, an FLH representative will coordinate vaccines at the expense of FLH. Core vaccinations are DHPP, Bordatella and Rabies for dogs; FVRCP and Rabies for cats. The adopter is financially responsible for the animal (including boosters and subsequent vaccinations) effective the date of the adoption. A representative from the organization may make inquiries to veterinarians or visit the animal to ensure that it is well taken care of. If we find that the animal has been neglected or abused in any way or for any reason, we reserve the right to remove the animal from the premises. Attempts to remove the animal shall not constitute trespass at the property occupied by the animal. Upon removal, ownership rights of the animal automatically transfer back to Fur Love Haven. Adopters agree to immediately notify FLH of any change of contact information (address, phone number, or email address) or the event the animal becomes lost or dies. Adopters agree to notify FLH, without delay, if they can no longer care for or keep their animal and agree to give FLH reasonable time to rehome or place the animal in an approved foster home, if available. At FLH discretion we may approve a foster-to-adopt arrangement. An adoption is not final until confirmation is received in written form from FLH.
