5 quick safety steps for a private rehoming
- Plan a meet-and-greet at a neutral public location before any commitment.
- Ask for vet records and the dog's microchip number.
- Verify the dog matches the photos and description in person.
- Never send money before meeting the dog in person.
- Trust your instincts. Walk away from anything that feels wrong.

Why Murphy Needs a New Home
A number of reasons: My partner's work situation has changed and she is now working from home. We have moved to a smaller apartment and we don't have a yard for the dog to run around the way he needs to. This is a very difficult decision and not one we take lightly.
About Murphy
Handsome, friendly, intelligent, playful and energetic. Loves to be brushed and have his tummy rubbed. Excellent hiking companion and loves a dip in a creek or river. Can be reactive with some dogs, particularly un- neutered males. He's not terrible with children, he just hasn't been around many. He's a very close and loving companion.
