Here's what the humans have to say about me:
THIS POST WILL BE REMOVED WHEN THE DOG IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE. INQUIRIES ABOUT THE ADOPTION STATUS WILL NOT BE RETURNED.
Murphy was born in rescue on March 3, 2024 when his mom arrived from a commercial breeding facility already "in the family way". His littermate did not survive long after the birth which puts Murphy in the status of a "singleton" puppy. Singleton puppies sometimes do not learn bite inhibition due to not having siblings to practice this important skill so it will be important for his forever family to have a playful resident dog to continue his education.
Fortunately for Murphy, his mom was very young and playful as were his foster canine siblings, Murphy plays hard and thinks he's a big dog-as most Westies do! He is a lover and a feisty guy all wrapped into one small package!
Murphy likes to keep up with all his foster canine siblings while running in the yard-no shortage of confidence for this lad. He has been going potty outside for a while but is also potty pad trained when he just can't quite "make it" outdoors. Murphy has been hand-raised and well loved and is seeking that perfect forever home who understands a feisty, smart, and sassy pup who needs structure, love, and guidance.
Murphy will be neutered, microchipped, and have age-appropriate vaccinations when adopted.
The suggested adoption donation for Murphy is a minimum of $900 and goes toward the high cost of veterinary care for our rescue dogs.Wag N Train Terrier Rescue adopts to an extended geographical area as long as we can locate a local volunteer to perform the required home visit. Approved adopters are required to travel to Omaha, NE to pick up their newly adopted dog. We do not arrange transport, or fly our rescue dogs without a "pet nanny". All of our dogs that come from a commercial breeding facility require a securely fenced yard AND a resident companion dog, unless the dog's bio states otherwise. Please note, invisible or underground fencing is not considered secure or appropriate containment. Adoption applications can be found at www.wagntrainterrierrescue.com/adoption-information
