My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Murphy! Murphy is a total love bug and is most happy getting his ears scratched. He is playful and loves fetch, tug-of-war, and is very respectful of his plush toys, only nibbling on them to hear the squeaker. Murphy is a foodie and enjoys anything served to him, and has taken a liking to sweet potato dried dog treats as a chewy little snack. One of Murphy's quirks is that he prefers to introduce himself to you by sniffing your nose, instead of your hand because he likes to meet face-to-face, like a proper gentleman.
Murphy is looking for a home with many cozy movie nights, a home where his playful spirit is celebrated with a game of chase in the backyard. He is eager to learn new things, meet new people, and share his silly personality with anyone who calls him handsome. To adopt Murphy, fill out an application online at HSNEI.org today!

More about this shelter

The Humane Society of Northeast Iowa (HSNEI) is a 501(c)(3) humane society founded in 1995, in Decorah, Iowa, to help homeless companion animals in the five-county area of Northeast Iowa (Allamakee, Clayton, Fayette, Howard, and Winneshiek counties). Since our founding, we have offered numerous services including dog and cat rescue, fostering and adoption services, humane education, safety and family fun fairs, microchipping for pet identification, financial assistance in spaying/neutering and pet referral services.



Our rescue and adoption program provides temporary care at the Love & Friendship Adoption Center and in foster homes for unwanted and abandoned animals. We also provide a website to help in finding adoptive homes for these animals.



In 2013 the Spay/Neuter Assistance Program of Northeast Iowa (SNAP) joined HSNEI to become one organization working for animals in northeast Iowa.



HSNEI is a Best Friends Network Partner and a PetCo Foundation Partner.
