Why I need a new home

Does not get along with other pet

My story

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


Murphy is a wonderful dog that we've had since she was a puppy. She loves toys and always has. Things were great with our little pack of 5 dogs, until my son moved out and took his dog with him. The power dynamic changed and Murphy began picking fights with our oldest dog who is 20 pounds heavier than she is. We sent her to a dog trainer 6 months ago who fell in love with her and decided to keep her. We got a call a week ago from the Boulder County Humane Society that stated she had been surrendered, so we retrieved her immediately and tried to reintegrate her into the pack. We were unable to contact the trainer who had taken her, and she returned to the same behavior that she had shown before. We are unable to care for her and the other dogs, and we fear that they will start fighting for no reason. She is friendly with everyone, and friendly with other animals too. It's just this particular dynamic that she can't be part of.
